Gaining Momentum

The project 'Play & Code Academy R.d.c' is a verified physical robotics and coding center for children in Kinshasa, operational since 2021 with press coverage and international partnerships. However, the submission itself contains significant inaccuracies, such as claiming the audience is 'everyone', stating 'most people have used my product', and citing revenue as 'marketcap'. While the real-world educational utility is high for the local region, the project's actual reach is hyper-local and the submission quality is poor.
