About Us

We started our website as part of a project for Sci-fest, national stem fair for schools. Our aim in making SkillBuilderz, is to give every child equal opportunities, by creating a website that aids children from the ages of 8-13 years old in learning necessary life skills. There are so many reasons as to why someone may or may not have learnt a certain skill. We aim to ensure that every child will get access to learning these day to day skills in an attempt to even the playing field for everyone. in the future we hope to turn this website into an app. we also aim to add new features as well as improving our current features to make the user experience as enjoyable as possible. 

our research

From our research we have found, that, for a lot of children the inability to perform certain tasks or skills can cause embarrassment and self esteem issues. We have surveyed various different age groups, ranging from 8-9 to 13+, to find out what skills most children know how to do and what skills children want to learn. From our surveys we have learned that most children from the ages of 8-9 know how do basic chores like making their bed or folding their clothes. however, they are less comfortable doing things like using a microwave or tying a tie. Most children from the ages of 10-12 knew how to bake and knew some sports skills. however they were less comfortable with their cooking skills. the main skills that they wanted to learn how to do was to be able to do their hair by themselves and to learn textile skills such as knitting or crochet. in the 13+ category most people knew how to use public transport by themselves. however they a lot of people were did not know how to create an effective schedule for studying. most people wanted to learn how to properly manage their money.
