Introduction
We are Laskar Punakawan. We studied at Telkom Institute of Technology and we are purposed to compete in Imagine Cup 2011. We worked together to build a project called Edison.

Problems
Lack of education is one of the toughest worlds problems. Many countries still have their residents that dont have access to education. Some have, but usually they have to pay for education. So education is still restricted for some people. Many men are education-less and cant get job. Because the lack of education, many men become unemployed, they dont have skills that required for the job they wanted. But with education there are higher chances that they could get job easily. Many countries are poor because their citizens are education-less. Lacks of education affect many aspects of a country. Economy of a country will be higher if productivity of each individual worker is higher too. Education is expensive. Yet there are so many problems in its administration. So we need education access that is simple and free. Many disabled cant gain education. They want to learn, but they just cant get to their school with their own. They need something to learn at their home, so they dont have to leave their own place.

Our Solution
Our solution is Edison. Edison is a concept which everybody can learn easily, freely, and socially in our web. In our web, user can learn anything they want freely. There are virtual college, social network, forum, and blogging feature in our web. We also provide some material from the expert directly so we can responsible for the material in it. Edison is very easy to use. At least, when you know how to browse Internet, youll get to used with Edison. Our web is uniquely is an excellent composition of Social Network and e-Learning. Everybody can share their own life experience, comment on it, but always stay connected to study easily. And everything is for free.

User Interaction Concept

We design the system so a user can use all feature just with one id. Once the user register, he/she can join a virtual college, join forum, and many others, and absolutely got social network feature. Thats what we are providing: One id, All Feature, and all of that for sure are FREE.
