TIMELINE

Jan - March 2024

ABOUT MINGA

Minga is a tardy and behaviour management platform for K-12 schools - minga.io

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Freeing up teacher time

Over the past year, we noticed an emerging trend: our partner schools always asked when we’d offer a kiosk mode for common areas on campus, and many prospective schools were looking for ways to run Minga, without a 1:1 device program.

PROBLEM

A time consuming and repetitive process

Teachers and front office staff find it time-consuming, repetitive, and disruptive to create hall passes and check students in.

CHALLENGES

Safety and privacy

Creating a self-serve feature such as a kiosk could potentially expose Minga to safety and privacy risks. Designing a reliable solution that prevents tampering or unauthorized access to private information was critical.

SOLUTION

Giving students more autonomy

We designed a kiosk feature that allows students to create their own hall passes and check in without constant monitoring:

IMPACT

Increased teacher adoption

The kiosk feature was instrumental in giving students more responsibility and autonomy, helping create a school environment where staff and students work together to build trust.
