Qwasar is a learning platform used to facilitate training programs that develop technical skills for the digital economy. Our model is an iteration of previous product experience.As the economy and labor demands shift, jobs require increasing levels of complexity and higher skill levels. These are different from the skills that were required 200 years ago when access to knowledge was limited (imagine life without Google or YouTube). 21st-century skills cannot be learned using oldinstruction methods that were designed to develop skills important in the 19th century. We need to move to active learning in order to learn and practice today's in-demand skills.We use project-based learning and peer learning. Our model reflects the work that happens in the workplace, in content, skill level attained, and soft skill development.We've developed new software to democratize our previous success. We're like Montessori for coding and we pick up where Khan Academy leaves off.We've develop a unique learning management and student management system, a continuous learning platform, a recruitment system, and an implementation kit called the LDK (Location Development Kit). Our software facilitates programs and learning both online, in-person, and in hybrid formats.
