RACHEL (Remote Area Community Hotspot for Education and Learning) is an innovative device that
acts as a miniature internet with built-in servers and Wi-Fi routers. It is designed to bring educational
resources to remote areas without reliable internet access. The device stores a large amount of
offline content, such as educational materials, Wikipedia articles, Khan Academy videos, and open-
source textbooks, which can be accessed by users via Wi-Fi without needing an internet connection.
This is a powerful tool for promoting education in underserved regions, particularly in developing
countries or areas affected by limited infrastructure.
By enabling access to educational content without internet connectivity, RACHEL supports the
United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to education and
reducing inequalities.
