Children are relying on parents to help them with their schooling troubles. Do they always know the answer? Can the always fix your issue? Do you just need a teacher by your side to help you? I’m Iliana and although I cant give you your teacher, I can give you the ‘ Hands Up ‘! The ‘Hands Up’ is the next best thing, it will send your troubles flying away. Coming with its own app, the ‘Hands Up’ is the perfect way to seek help from your teacher

The ‘Hands Up’ has been created to allow children to get the instant help of their teacher. The ‘Hands Up’ is a practical size and easily portable, so you can take it on the go. When your children need help, they simply press the hands up button (located in the middle of the device) and then on the screen (directly under the button) the word waiting will appear. Linked via the app, the ‘Hands Up’ is easy to set up, not only for the children, but for the teacher as well. When the teacher downloads the app, they will get a notification every time a new child joins the question queue, and the teacher simply taps on the child next in the queue and answers their question. When you are on a call with your teacher, to ask your question you hold the microphone button, on top of the hands up button, and hold it down for three seconds before releasing the button and stating your issue. Priced at Β£25, it is not only affordable ,but it comes with a 1 year warranty. The ‘Hands Up’ uses USB charging, so you can use your phone charger. The ‘Hands Up’ is light weight, easy to travel with and affordable, plus it will fix all your ‘I don’t know’ issues. Just like in class!

Why does it not have any additional features?
Although extra pieces might be exciting and a way to help pass time, it would make the ‘Hands Up’ considerably more expensive, and harder for children and teachers to set up. We want to make the hands up affordable, but high quality, as our product has to be the best it could possibly be. When making the ‘Hands Up’ we considered many other ways we could spice our device up, but we decided on a simple, easy to use device. By sticking to a simple product, we had more time to test it and make sure the ‘Hands Up’ had substantial quality.

Why does it come with its own app?
The ‘Hands Up’ comes with it’s own app because it allows the set up of the device to be even easier. It does not only increase the quality of the product, but makes it more modern and easier to use. The app does not only allow you to see who is in the question queue, but allows you to answer the question as well. To answer a question via the app, you simply tap on the child next in the queue, push your hands up button, hold then release the microphone button, then ask and fix away.
