We Accelerate STEM Outcomes
Graphic DescriptionTraditionally schools have been using a costly mix of resources while the rate of student achievement has declined. Our platform provides a holistic integrated approach. The pilots at Pride Elementary validate our platform's capability to raise the rate of student achievement to 100% proficient and distinguished on national standardized tests.

Impactful ResultsKendall Hunt's two classes of 4th grade students showed significant improvement across the course of the 13 day study. The 2 lowest lowest students showed substantive improvements and are now on par with peers.
The prior 3rd grade class study, with Kelly Gates, showed similar results and validated our capability to accelerate gains for disadvantaged learners with significant time and materials savings. Contact us for a copy of our latest white paper

Our Three-Pronged Approach
We help educators slay the three-headed dragon of engagement, governance and achievement.
Student Engagement
|
Student disengagement with traditional resources saps teacher energy and eats up valuable learning time.
Worse, if children lack a positive connection to science, by age 11, they can quickly turn their backs on it for good. (MicroSoft) With the assurance of our validated 20X engagement rate per user, in 1 - 2 hour sessions with hundreds of Los Altos Elementary students, educators gain increased confidence, knowing, not guessing what they are doing is highly immersive and fun. This allows for more direct quality interactions with children, elevating the conversation across the class and diminishing educator burden. |
Classroom Governance |
A well-managed classroom doesn't just prevent chaos; it sets the stage for productive, engaged learning.
Our built-in classroom governance creates a role-based frame work to solve conflicts and adopt decisions. Pairs of students work together, rotating roles of navigator and narrator, as they journey through Unitopia. As questions are asked, students develop new understandings of how to resolve contradictions leading to better decision making. System dialogue provides supporting evidence as to why a particular answer is correct nurturing students' ownership of their their learning and a thriving trust-based community. |
Academic Achievement
|
Hard Truth: Latest US Nation's Report Card Scores long-term trend continues downward spiral.
Foundation for Action: Research from the National Association of State Boards of Education found the nations that outrank US students prioritize high-quality instruction materials. Top performing Finland emphasizes science & art more than the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development 38 member countries average. Validated Efficacy: 4th grade students at Pride Elementary scored 100% proficient and distinguished on their standardized science growth assessment after using Unicorn Blue School School for 13 days, outranking all 5th graders nationally. |
A Holistic Integrated Curriculum
Socratic Questioning and ReflectionThe system conducts Socratic dialogue to guide personalized learning pathways wrapped in an engaging 3D roleplay environment.
As questions are asked, assumptions are challenged, information is analyzed, and students develop new understandings of how to identify and resolve contradictions leading to better decision making. This process involves active listening, questioning underlying beliefs, and collaboratively constructing knowledge, often leading to new insights. |
AV/AI TechnologyStudents engage in high order thinking to navigate through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways, analyze information given within these pathways and decide how to collaboratively answer questions.
The system develops students ability to think clearly and deeply and engage with new ideas in a constructive methodical way. It allows student to take ownership and control over their own learning and intellectual rigor. |
Engagement Through Social PlayChildren learn to share, take turns, negotiate, and resolve conflicts during group play.
Our integrated system uses roleplay, conversation, and reflection, to bring about active engagement. This unlocks limiting emotional states and opens the mind to view and interpret data with focused learning through new lenses. The system monitors and notifies students on pathway completion so students can't be passive. This is vital for brain development as it builds essential neural circuits, enhancing cognitive skills like problem-solving, memory, and self-regulation. |
Personalized Learning PathwaysAssessment rich curriculum is crucial because it deeply integrates meaningful evaluation with learning, moving beyond simple testing to provide timely feedback, reveal specific student needs, build foundational knowledge for complex skills, enhance student reflection, and guide instructional adjustments, ultimately leading to better comprehension and closing achievement gaps.
Our integrated system identifies patterns in learning gaps and recommends personalized pathways for each student based on real-time analytics. This allows our system to help teachers focus on the immediate learning gaps that each student and class faces. Our teacher interface presents a comprehensive view of summative and formative assessment data with individualized recommendations that quickly identifies and resolves gaps in STEM learning with prioritized pathways. |

"From the mix-reality hunt in our school garden, to the interactive labs and companion book, I love how the multi-modal exposures and depth and breadth of curriculum made the content come to life in so many ways."
"I am amazed at the tremendous growth from just a 10 day pilot across a disadvantaged population where the struggling students had double-digit gains."
