Consultancy:
• We are looking for a creative, and technically skilled, Software Developer Consultant, who will work closely with Ubongo’s Software Engineer to develop the Nuzo and Namia app and series of interactive ebooks.

• The App is an adaptation of stories and activities from our new Animated show called Nuzo and Namia with the focus on providing a more immersive experience on learning different african cultures and developing reading and listening comprehension skills.
• The App has a game-like structure and interface in which the player has to complete different activities to win rewards. These activities are like mini-games with each having an emphasis on a certain learning objective. Some of the activities are based on popular games like the memory card game, i spy, hopscotch etc.
• A version of this app already exists meaning you will work on an existing, well written and documented codebase.
• Interactive ebooks:

• Conduct thorough testing and debugging to ensure robustness, usability, and reliability of the app.
• Maintain and improve the codebase for the Nuzoa and Namia app, ensuring high performance and responsiveness to requests from the front-end.

Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience in educational technology and game development.
