Building a tomorrow-ready generation

ebny is a personalized platform that helps parents, students, schools, and educational organizations connect with meaningful learning and development opportunities. By matching each child’s age, interests, and location with relevant programs, and activities, ebny makes it easier for young people to discover pathways that support their growth and future readiness.

Target group
Through ebny, we hope to see an education system where children’s growth is not limited by what their families happen to hear about, where they live, or which school or network they belong to. Many valuable opportunities already exist outside the classroom — in STEM, arts, sports, scholarships, competitions, volunteering, reading, trips, and enrichment programs — but they are scattered and often difficult to find in time. As a result, children with motivated or well-connected families may access more pathways, while others miss opportunities that could shape their confidence, skills, interests, and future choices. The change we want to see is a more open and personalized opportunity ecosystem for K-12 learners. Every child should be able to discover relevant learning and development opportunities based on their age, interests, location, and needs. Parents should have a simple way to find trusted opportunities for their children, and schools, clubs, NGOs, universities, and service providers should be able to reach the young people who can benefit most. In the long term, ebny aims to make opportunity discovery part of every child’s educational journey, not an occasional privilege. We want education to become more connected to real-world experiences, personal talents, future skills, and wider exposure. Our dream is to help build a tomorrow-ready generation by making meaningful opportunities easier to find, access, and act on.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

ebny was created because many families miss valuable opportunities simply because they are scattered across different websites, social media pages, schools, clubs, and institutions. Parents often do not know where to look, whether an opportunity is suitable for their child’s age, location, interests, or gender, or how to apply in time.

At the same time, many schools, clubs, universities, NGOs, and service providers struggle to reach the right young people for their programs. ebny was created to close this gap by making opportunity discovery easier, more personalized, and more accessible.

The goal is to help every child and student find meaningful pathways for growth — whether through learning programs, sports tryouts, arts, STEM activities, scholarships, competitions, trips, volunteering, or enrichment experiences. We want children to grow with wider exposure, better choices, and stronger readiness for the future.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

In practice, ebny is a digital platform where parents and students can discover opportunities that match a child’s profile. A parent can add one or more children, including their age, location, interests, and other relevant details. ebny then helps them browse suitable opportunities in categories such as sports, STEM, arts, scholarships, competitions, workshops, trips, reading programs, and other educational or developmental activities.

Users can search, filter, save, share, and apply to opportunities. Institutions can create and manage their own opportunities, while families can follow what is relevant to them instead of searching manually across many different sources.

The experience is designed to be simple: families find trusted opportunities in one place, and providers reach the learners who are most likely to benefit from them.

How has it been spreading?

ebny is currently being introduced through direct outreach to parents, students, schools, educational organizations, clubs, and opportunity providers. The platform is also spreading through online channels, social media content, and partnership conversations with institutions that offer learning and development opportunities for young people.

The first focus is Egypt, with the platform designed to expand gradually to other countries in the region and later to international opportunities. Because many opportunities are relevant beyond one city or country — such as scholarships, online programs, competitions, and global youth initiatives — ebny is built to help users discover both nearby and worldwide opportunities.

How have you modified or added to your innovation?

ebny has been developed from a simple opportunity-listing idea into a more personalized platform. We added child profiles so that opportunities can be matched to age, location, and interests. We also added filters, saved opportunities, sharing, institution accounts, application flows, and administrative tools to manage and review content.

The innovation has also been shaped to serve different users: parents who want trusted opportunities for their children, students who want to explore their own growth pathways, and institutions that want to reach the right audience. We continue improving the platform based on practical needs, including easier discovery, clearer categories, better application journeys, and stronger support for future partnerships.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

To try ebny, a parent or student can create an account, add the child’s basic profile, and start exploring opportunities that match their needs and interests. They can search by category, location, age group, or type of opportunity, then save, share, or apply to the opportunities they find useful.

An institution can create an institution account, add its profile, and publish opportunities for families and students to discover. The platform can be used by schools, clubs, universities, NGOs, training providers, and other organizations offering educational or developmental opportunities for young people.

For now, the easiest way to try ebny is to use the platform as a parent, student, or institution and explore how personalized opportunity discovery can support children’s growth.

Implementation steps

Create an account
Parents, students, or institutions start by creating an account on ebny. Parents use the platform to find opportunities for their children, students can explore relevant opportunities directly, and institutions can publish opportunities for families and learners to discover.
Add the child or student profile
A parent adds basic information about each child, such as age, location, interests, and other relevant details. This helps ebny show opportunities that are more suitable for that child instead of giving every family the same general list.
Explore personalized opportunities
Families and students browse opportunities in areas such as STEM, sports, arts, scholarships, competitions, workshops, trips, volunteering, reading programs, and enrichment activities. They can search and filter by category, location, age group, and type of opportunity.
Save, share, or apply
When users find a relevant opportunity, they can save it for later, share it with others, or apply through the available application or registration flow. This makes it easier for families to act before deadlines are missed.
Institutions publish opportunities
Schools, clubs, NGOs, universities, training providers, and other organizations can create institution accounts and publish opportunities. They add the title, description, target age group, location, deadline, and application details so that the right families and students can find them.
Improve access over time
As more families and institutions use ebny, the platform becomes a stronger opportunity ecosystem. Feedback from users helps improve categories, filters, application flows, and the quality of opportunities available to children and students.
