We had to come up with an idea that we thought could change the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was later able to pitch at a huge\ngovernment-led start-up event, and that\u2019s when her project came to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yip said she believed her product could\npotentially solve the screen time problem and allow children to learn and teach\nat the same time. She added that many children were using the app to learn\nthings beyond the classroom curricula and delve deeper into topics they were\npersonally passionate about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHuman connection has been a crucial part\nof the app, and adults sometimes have underestimated the power of giving\nchildren a platform,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yip gave an example of children connecting\nthrough the app to discuss the recent coronavirus outbreak. \u201cChildren discussed\neverything from how to stay safe and the reasons they had to stay home, to how\ntheir parents were dealing with the crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKids were paying attention to the world\naround them and were using the app to actively help other kids,\u201d she said,\nnoting that the app takes important safety measures to keep children safe while\nusing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yip added that the\ndiversity of users on the application will help increase understanding of\ndifferent viewpoints, cultures and ideas. \u201cWhen we deal with problems, having a\nwide sweep of opinions can help. Understanding viewpoints of others and coming\nto productive conclusions can heal divides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future,\nshe said she\nplans to work with other online vendors to bring more formalized learning on\nthe application to increase the knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn our second version, which is in its final stages, we plan to launch parent communities since exchange between an international group of parents doesn\u2019t exist today,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cWhen I started with the app five years ago, I wanted to make language learning easier. Now I see this as the beginning of something much larger,\u201d she added <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Women\u2019s\nForum Dubai 2020 was organised by Dubai Women Establishment, which is led by <strong>Her\nHighness Sheikha Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum<\/strong>, President of\nthe UAE Gender Balance Council and wife of HH Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al\nNahyan, UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on its\ntheme, <strong><em>\u2018The Power of Influence\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, Global Women\u2019s Forum Dubai 2020\nhighlighted how effective policies and partnerships in four key areas \u2013 <strong>Government<\/strong>,\n<strong>Economy, Society, and the Future<\/strong> \u2013 can further women\u2019s positive impact\nfor a better future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hillary Yip\u2019s educational app MinorMynas aims to help children learn new languages by chatting on live video calls with their peers Hillary Yip\u2019s educational app MinorMynas aims to help children learn new languages by chatting on live video calls with their peers Children use the application to discuss a range of topics &#8211; from coding [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3759,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,68],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-media-centre","category-media-centre-mobile"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
