DreamSpace Academy

DreamSpace Academy is the official companion app for our makerspace hubs — empowering underserved youth across Sri Lanka with hands-on STEM, making, and creative skills. It gives coordinators, trainers, administrators, and parents one simple, secure place to run day-to-day hub activities and stay connected to every learner's journey.

This app is built for the adults who make the program work — staff who run the hubs and parents/guardians who follow their child's progress. Accounts are provided by DreamSpace Academy; there is no public sign-up.

BUILT FOR TRUST & CHILD SAFETY
Protecting children's data is at the heart of this app and we are fully committed to Sri Lanka's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
• No student photos are ever stored — students are shown by an anonymous ID and a friendly robot/animal avatar
• Sensitive information is access-controlled and shown only to authorised staff
• All data is encrypted in transit
• Consent is recorded at enrolment, and you can request access, correction, or deletion of your data at any time

WORKS FOR EVERYONE
• Available in English, Tamil (தமிழ்), and Sinhala (සිංහල)
• Offline-first attendance so trainers are never blocked by a weak connection
• Light and dark modes
• Clean, fast, mobile-friendly design
