Mission
Our organization builds free learning software that improves student learning outcomes for K-12 students. Our software leverages various research-backed strategies and makes them easy for K-12 teachers and students to implement in their classrooms on a daily basis. We also work with learning science researchers to enable them to run studies through our software and make breakthroughs on the science of learning.
Program accomplishments
- We provided 2000 teachers and 20000 students with free access to our web platform, and we helped improve student learning outcomes for those students by helping them easily use research-backed learning strategies. We also worked with learning science researchers at CMU and The University of Memphis to help them conduct a study on the efficacy of spaced retrieval practice in the classroom. This research was supported by an NSF grant.Expenses $107,207
