App Goal

App Goal

Join activities. Host activities. Get active.

To create leadership opportunities for students by encouraging them to initiate and join activities. Lack of confidence and fear of being singled out has unfortunately resulted in many high school students avoiding joining sport teams or other organizations. Kenzo empowers students to organize and explore their own interests without performance pressures.

When students see what’s happening, they start becoming part of it.

Affordable and easy to implement using existing projectors or screens, it's an economical solution schools can adopt.
