Trafi Go Digi Edu HackContext
TraffiGo addresses the lack of engaging and age-appropriate tools for teaching traffic rules to children, a critical gap in early road safety education. Many children lack foundational knowledge of traffic regulations, contributing to unsafe behaviors. The platform integrates seamlessly into civic education and social studies classes, promoting collaborative group learning while making traffic code digital, interactive, and age-specific. By targeting this gap, TraffiGo aims to improve traffic safety from a young age.
We aim to solve the challenge of insufficient traffic education among young road users. Traditional methods fail to engage children and are not adapted to their cognitive levels. This lack of effective early education leads to unsafe practices, increasing the risk of traffic accidents involving children.
