Field notes
Polymath organizes its proposition around three named layers: SmartDesk classroom hardware, Stardy Buddy’s AI learning environment, and Kgorong Collective’s builder network. The page marks SmartDesk as a physical prototype tested in classrooms and Stardy Buddy as running on early units, while a six-month proof of concept remains in progress. Its scale diagram moves from one desk and twenty learners toward villages, cities, and a connected continent, but the extract provides no pilot results or deployment metrics.
