GoCikgu App

The Astronautical Association of Malaysia (AstroX) has launched the Astronautics Club

Malaysia in January 2015 and currently has over 1,000 members to date. We have

overwhelming response from schools and teachers that wishes to join and signup to have

the astronautics club in their schools. To promote growth we need to educate the teachers

on how to adopt and run the programme in their schools. To support this venture we are

proposing to develop an App that is specifically designed for teachers to join our network.

It will be called “GoCikgu” App. We intend to reach out to teachers who are located away

from major cities by using our “GoCikgu” App in which delivery of our service is hard to

reach. Teachers from rural and city outskirts will be able to log on our services via the app

by just connecting to cellular data connection. Teachers will be able to network with other

teachers and have the option of broadening their skill s by attending some of our

developmental short courses over weekends. Teachers will be able to adopt the

programmme seamlessly and run the astronautics club in their schools by downloading

our class modules and syllabus. Teachers will be able to tap on our content and also

contribute their own content through features in our App. A special segment will enable

them to crowd-fund for any personal projects that they have and procure and purchase

products from us to further enhance their programmes. With 7,746 government primary

schools nationwide, the project is scalable to cost with limitless possibilities. The

development of the “GoCikgu” app for mobile users is essential for the growth of our

programme to help the underserved community by providing teachers with the ability to

access their profile and project status through their mobile devices. This is will further

promote our programme and market it beyond borders.
