For Parents

We're here to help parents make STEM learning flexible and purposeful for their kids.

The Challenges Facing Homeschooling

81% of parents are concerned with declining test scores and achievement gaps. It's not surprising the homeschooling population had been growing over the past several years. Nailing down the most effective curriculum can be incredibly difficult thanks to these challenges:

Limited Access to Science Labs

Homeschoolers suffer from a serious lack of science labs and typically fall back on science kits that cost between $500-$2000 and carry additional "hidden costs" of additional prep, set up, helping kids during lab time, grading assignments and storage of half done experiments, let alone the inevitable clean up.

Even more frustrating is trying to piece together age appropriate labs with mixed ages groups from K to 8th grade. It's like trying to put a square peg in a round hold, cuz what works for one age doesn't fit for another.

Worse, it drains parents energy and takes away the joy of individual interaction with their children.

Lacking Access to Science Labs

Lacking Quality Curriculum

Lacking Customized Curriculum

The number one reason parents choose to homeschool is the misalignment with one-size-fits all traditional approach. They value customized curriculum that meets the needs of their individual child.

Quality curriculum includes: standards alignment, deep engagement, rich evidence-based assessment, personalized pathways and holistic development.

Homeschoolers spend countless hours searching for just-right curriculum to see their children accomplish more academically than possible in schools.

This includes integrated learning strategies that connect subjects and life skills, emphasizing hands-on projects and real-world application.

Lacking Purpose & Meaning

The loss of meaningful purpose in the traditional school environment is the next most pressing reason parents choose to homeschool. Homeschoolers strongly value a whole child approach that nurtures deeper exploration. This approach helps students find personal goals, a framework to achieve them and a broader sense of purpose in their education. Its aim is lifelong success and responsible citizenship.

Lacking Meaningful Purpose

"I spend a TON of time looking at curriculums, reading books on the topics, on forums, troubleshooting issues, negotiating with my own sense of self-doubt, etc. All that is optional, and I am probably obsessive in this department. And that's in addition to a lot of activities and stuff. Of course everyone is going to handle these things differently, but it can be a lot for some people."

How We Help

Mobile STEM Academy

Our mobile STEM academy provides a high-quality, flexible and customizable learning experience for homeschooling families.

Our system is Next Gen Science Standard compliant for grades K - 8 so it works with multiple grade levels. The text-to-speech capability promotes reading independence and mixed-age collaboration.

The interface notifies students of micro and macro concept progress based on real-time analytics of student assessment data. This empowers students to focus on immediate learning gaps that each student faces. The student dashboard gives a cumulative summary of all activities completed making parental verbal check-ins a breeze.

Customizable Curriculum

With the assurance of our validated triple sigma improvement on standardized tests with homeschool students, parents gain increased productivity, knowing, not guessing what they are doing is right. The interface provides interactive lab practicum that makes complex topics like biology, chemistry and physics tangible and eliminates the time constraints and headaches of science kits. The gamified curriculum motivates student directed learning. This allows for more direct quality interactions with children, elevating the conversation across the home and diminishing parent burden.

Holstic Development

Our built-in behavior management creates a homeschool culture that nurtures students' leadership, agency, and ownership of their learning. At first touch, students undertake a hero's journey to select a Caradoodle and train it to fly. They then earn coins to feed it by working in mixed age-group pairs to problem solve interactive lab practicum in both the virtual and real world. The system monitors student progress taking this time consuming task off parent's hands and fostering a well-rounded child.

Holistic Development

"With 7 years of homeschooling all 4 of my kids, I rate this as my top pick for STEM. After taking a pre-summative test, I simply tasked my 5th grader with getting 100% proficiency on all labs. At our check-ins, I was able to view his dashboard to see progress made and discuss next steps. After just 4 weeks he confidently assured me he had mastered each lab. And boy was he right! His summary test, showed triple sigma gains. I couldn't be any more happy with the results."

Homeschool Parent

"Our first foundation is STEM, then we added Art for STEAM. As a Catholic School, we added Religion for STREAM. This platform hits on all three levels. Out-of-the-box extensions make it easy to integrate the scientific method into whatever it is you are teaching."
