Story of Induction Learning
Description
I built Induction Learning with a friend from high school because for years I wondered why schools taught all of their students the same way. I wanted Induction Learning to give each students a personalized education, allowing everybody to have the chance that they deserved to get the best and most personalized education possible. Leading this venture for two years gave me valuable experience in managing a team, learning to build and ship a product, and understand how to best assess customer's needs and wants.
Induction Learning offered an intuitive and authentic test prep experience. The iPad app allowed users to replicate the SAT and ACT tests, allowing in-depth personalized analysis of how students perform and learn on the test. We then sent an analysis back to students using data analytics. We used screen tracking using our proprietary iPad application to enhance this experience. Our Mission was to empower students to increase their score and create a lasting personal impact on how they learned through data analytics.
