Charles Leota is a PE teacher who taught himself to code and has now created a pair of computer programmes he hopes will help more than 70 thousand dyslexic children in New Zealand. The apps, called My Kete and Ezy Essay, allow students to take their exams digitally and read what they've written back to them - without the cost of dedicated teacher aids or reader/writers. Charles just recently won a 10 thousand dollar AMP Scholarships Award for his invention, money which he plans to invest in developing his software further.
