Odin Education

Odin Education is redefining 21st-century learning by placing each learner’s identity and potential at the centre of education. Their approach begins with the guiding question, “Who are you?”—reflected in their connected learning device, Omang (meaning “who are you” in Setswana). Omang helps learners embark on a guided journey of self-discovery, mapping their interests, aptitudes, and passions through rich analytics. This personalised insight forms the basis for every learning experience provided by Odin. Odin Education leverages state-of-the-art digital learning solutions—such as virtual reality, gamification, and real-time analytics—to create immersive and interactive learning environments. Their platforms equip students with high-quality resources, fostering deep engagement, especially in STEM subjects, and preparing learners for an increasingly digital world. Central to Odin’s mission is transforming—not merely fixing—the education system. Digital technology is used to unlock students' curiosity, creativity, and individual strengths, offering them technology suited to their needs and guiding them to discover and pursue their unique passions. As of 2025, Odin serves over 1,700 learners across 12 partner schools and community centers in South Africa, and supports more than 500 learners in India, demonstrating the scalability of their cloud-based, data-light, and curriculum-adaptable platform. They also partner with local enterprises for support functions, emphasizing capability-building and empowerment, especially within underserved communities.
