The Hitch platform was created to provide additional educational resources by allowing teachers and students to advance beyond their current resources and graduate to using world-class educational videos to improve learning outcomes.
The platform includes the best educational videos for each topic by searching the internet for videos made by trusted and pre-approved educational producers. These are then carefully selected and mapped to the local curriculum by ranking how relevant, engaging and educating the video is.
With HITCH, teachers can easily find relevant videos because they are organized based on the local curriculum. By providing schools with battery-powered hardware that stores the videos locally, the Hitch platform is always up and running for teachers and students, regardless of the local internet or power. Hitch educational videos available on-demand on almost any device.
The concept for the technology was co-founded by Uche Onuora, who is also the CEO of the company. HITCH offers a very large library of the world’s best educational videos, focusing on the topics of importance for WAEC exams, such as WASSCE. A curated exam preparation track makes it easy to cover all the right material for a given exam.
