What we can do for you

A lab is only worth it if it is still running in five years. KUBO is open source and yours to run, so you can do everything yourself; everything here exists to keep your lab running, in local hands wherever we can, at nonprofit rates, long after setup. This is the full menu: pick what your school needs.

The life of your KUBO setup

  2. Year after yearKeeping it runningmaintain, back up, debug, upgrade

It spends most of that life running, so that is where most of our care goes.

Setting up

From the first plan to a working lab and a trained team.

Remote

Planning

Based on an intake, by video call, in person or over email, whatever works best, we help you align KUBO with your school: which parts of the suite fit now, what hardware you can reuse, what a realistic budget buys.

Remote · school platform

Platform setup

We set up the school platform around your school, its classes, subjects and report style, and import your students, so it is ready for the first term.

Remote · server

Custom offline content

Content your classrooms rely on, made available without internet: we transform documents, videos and courses to run offline from the local server, and map them to your curriculum.

On location & growing

Installation & workshops

Where our teams are, one visit gets you running: we install the lab in your classroom and train teachers and staff in hands-on workshops. Somewhere else? A new region is our chance to grow a local team, so never hesitate to reach out.

Keeping it running

The ongoing care that makes it all sustainable, in local hands wherever we can: we aim to maximize local employment. Support is priced per school and always at nonprofit rates: fair wages for the people who do the work, and nothing more. As an indication it runs from about €10 a month for backups and remote help to about €40 a month for full care with on-site visits; your plan states your exact figure before you decide. The proof so far: the first lab has run at The Swallow since 2017, its first computers served nine years, and five schools across two countries run on it today.

  1. 1 · Ask

    Start the intake or write to info@kubo.global: your region and lab size shape the figure.

  2. 2 · One number

    Your plan states your exact monthly figure, at nonprofit rates, before you decide.

  3. 3 · It runs

    Support starts alongside your lab, and the lab keeps running without us either way.

Maintenance

Keeping a lab running is ongoing work, so it needs a team nearby. Our regional experts currently cover The Gambia and the Fort Portal region of Uganda, visiting schools for upkeep, repairs and support.

Remote

Cloud backups

Your school's data, kept safe: the server backs itself up locally, and our backup service adds an off-site copy through cloud sync, so records survive failing or stolen hardware. A small recurring cost, part of your support figure.

Remote

Remote debugging

When the server misbehaves, we debug it from here over the internet. And when hands are needed on site, we guide a local technician through it on a video call, screwdriver in hand.

Remote

Zero-trust security

Remote care never means an open door to the internet. It runs over our private zero-trust overlay network: no open ports, each machine sees only what it needs, and we can reach every device we maintain. Updates, the record backups and a status heartbeat travel over that same guarded line, so we notice a struggling server before the school loses a school day to it.

Remote

Upgrades

The platform keeps evolving, and we keep your server up to date with new versions and security fixes. And when the school grows, we help you plan the hardware to grow with it.

And when hardware retires

Less a service than a way of working: the end of the lifecycle is part of the plan too.

Everywhere

Reuse & recycling

Equipment that is no longer used should not end up in a drawer or a dump. To the best of our abilities, we help it find a second life in another classroom or school, or a responsible recycling channel.
