About Us

Team AutoCognita got its start when founder Frank Ho, inspired by the challenge, signed up for the Adult Literacy and Global Learning XPRIZEs and looked around for other like-minded people also based in Hong Kong. Over time, the team began to take shape as Pazu Lai joined to as a system developer, and Chun Chi joined later as a front-end developer. We had a solid design and tech team in place, but for several months we lacked someone with real teaching experience. Then one day, Dana Rozier from the U.S. contacted us to express her interest in joining our mission, after reading our team profile on the XPRIZE portal. Now we are one dedicated global team with unique and complimentary skills, all connected through serendipity and the magic of the XPRIZE network.

Having started implementation for the GLEXP, we become more confident that a working solution based on our constructivist approach can be done. With every module that we build today, we keep in mind how it can be used in an adult learning context. We look forward to being a part of the Adult Literacy XPRIZE, contributing to end adult illiteracy and making a small dent in the universe.

TECH INFORMATION
