Solution Overview & Benefits

"Prevention Begins With Me", a program breaking the stigma of HIV/AIDS through education.

YouTube Channel

Interactive animated films have been developed in 13 languages and are used by hundreds of millions of young people in over 82 countries.

  • The curriculum is medically accurate and pedagogically grounded to optimize learning and retention.
  • Strategically embedded interactive elements increase viewer engagement and knowledge retention.
  • The curriculum is available in 13 languages (26 versions), each featuring culturally-appropriate dialect and mannerisms.
  • The use of research-driven 2D cartoon imagery provides the perfect balance of comfort and clarity for this highly stigmatized topic.

Prevention Begins With Me was designed in partnership with subject matter experts and local community leaders. It underwent more than 500 iterations in its initial development process. Formally approved by the Institutional Review Board, the research was conducted through Stanford University and recognized as an innovation that would “change the world” by MIT Technology Review.

History & Development

TeachAids is an award-winning social venture that creates breakthrough technology to solve persistent problems in health education around the world.

Spun out of Stanford University in 2009, the founding research behind TeachAids — a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization — was grounded in Dr. Piya Sorcar’s doctoral work. This effort grew into a collaborative consortium of world-class experts from disciplines including education, medicine, communications, technology, and design thinking. The Institutional Review Board-approved research and methodology has demonstrated statistically significant gains in learning and retention, and provided the highest learning effects and comfort rates of any tested educational approach.
