About this Project:
Our project is all about helping students concentrate better when they're online, especially with so many distractions around. It's like giving them a special tool to stay focused, just like how Google Classroom helps teachers and students with assignments. We thought about how we could make it easier for kids with ADHD, autism, and similar conditions to stay on task while browsing.
So, we came up with a browser extension that's really user-friendly. It's like having a person who helps you block out stuff that might distract you while you're studying. You can set it up to keep you away from sites that aren't related to schoolwork, and it helps you keep your tabs and bookmarks organized too. Plus, there are cool features like timers and to-do lists to help you stay on track. It's basically a way to make studying online a bit less distracting and a lot more focused.

Feedback from the Judges:
Great job on the Asoni project! Your solution addresses the significant challenges neurodivergent students face in traditional classrooms with practical tools like sensory warm-up games, checklists with timers, and interactive flashcards. The approach is innovative and user-friendly, showing a strong potential to improve educational outcomes. Enhancing details on implementation and gathering user feedback could make your proposal even stronger. Overall, it's a promising project with a meaningful impact.
Great project to emphasize the importance of how everyone learns differently.
I personally think that teachers would need a tool like this more than the students since a digital tool generally means that a teacher needs to set up the device for the students to use before they can access the tool. It might be worthwhile to get teachers' insight on this topic to get a better understanding of how each teacher does things differently.
