"We need entertainment." Many were surprised to hear this answer in June, 2012 when 18-year-old Togo Martine won first prize in the 'Social Enterprise Idea Contest' in Malawi, Africa. His story explained that it was not 'necessities' that should be delivered by volunteers, rather it should be 'entertainment' which villagers could enjoy together. Samsung Electronics created the 'Shiny Project' as an answer to the problem.

The first Shiny School was a four-day workshop held at Malawi's Mchitanjiru High School in July, 2014. Samsung donated 5 notebook computers to teachers, training them how to plan and organize their lessons efficiently using the Shiny-Pi and Shiny OHP. We caught a glimpse of the students' and teachers' enthusiasm as we demonstrated many ways the Shiny Projector could be used effectively.

During English class, children were shocked and amazed as soon as words written on the OHP film were projected onto the screen. Students at the back of the class instantly expressed their joy, no longer finding it difficult to read the words from the back of the dark classroom. Students were able to experience vivid images of the human heart searched from the internet during Science class, and participated in a Math quiz created using layered OHP film. The kids were more eager than ever to answer the teacher's questions throughout the entire class.
