Classence wins the Education Impact Challenge
How a simple idea, one stage and a few minutes earned Classence first place at the Education Impact Challenge organised by the Michael Olusoji Foundation.
One idea, one stage
Classence emerged as the winner of the Education Impact Challenge, organised by the Michael Olusoji Foundation at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), competing alongside students from different institutions.
We competed under the team name Veltrix. The idea we took to that stage was Classence: our vision to make learning more personalised, accessible and effective.
The problem we presented
Students are different, yet education is often delivered as if everyone learns the same way.
Classence addresses this with personalised study plans, adaptive exam preparation, learning support, performance insights and career guidance, helping students understand what to learn, how to learn and where to improve.
More than an idea
By the time we stepped onto that stage, Classence had already grown beyond an idea, with over 100 active users experiencing the platform firsthand.
Beyond the award, the moment was a validation of the problem, the solution and the work behind Classence.
What comes next
We are grateful to the Michael Olusoji Foundation for creating the platform, and to every team that brought their ideas and raised the bar. Classence is now part of the EAE Startup Accelerator, and there is a lot more building ahead.
