Through his personal experience and volunteer work with at-risk youth, SMU information systems management graduate Anders Tan became inspired to create a mobile application for students to anonymously pose questions about schoolwork, free of charge. Together with two friends from SMU – Chia Luck Yong and Shaun Tan – Anders launched mobile app EduSnap in January. To meet their goal of helping disadvantaged children, the app’s creators have tied up with five voluntary welfare centres offering tuition programmes. So far, EduSnap has about 600 registered users. A check on the app showed a flurry of activity, with questions and answers filed according to topics and by school levels.
