When I was studying Physics at the University of London Royal Holloway, I had an idea. What if there was a way to help teach poor kids and adults through an app?

Quantum Sand app

The result of this thought process is now an app that is nearing completion for testing.

Quantum Sand is an educational art-game-storytelling platform. Written in React, Rust, Ruby-on-Rails, C++ and Qml. Blender is used for the artwork.

Storytelling

Within the storytelling of Quantum Sand, the main characters who teach Xenia and Andrew, are Chinese and Japanese.

The Chinese characters are Ai and Zhao.

The Japanese characters are Sakura and Akio.

This reflects a deep fascination with Chinese and Japanese storytelling and artwork over a long period.

Storytelling in videogames such as Link’s Awakening, Ocarina of Time and Shenmue have left an impression that has lasted for decades.

Live USB stick; STEM programme for Women and Girls

Quantum Sand can be distributed via a Live USB stick. This should help women and girls who are banned from education due to extreme interpretations of various religions. This will turn into the Quantum Sand STEM programme for Women and Girls.
