Company Description

Why Science provides a cloud-based customizable learning system.

Why Science provides a cloud-based customizable learning system that uses students’ natural curiosity to challenge students to learn more effectively. The system is in schools, it is actively being used by teachers who unanimously highly recommend the system, and the company is generating revenue above breakeven. Schools are actively using the Why Science Learning System to improve their students’ science aptitude in classrooms. The system serves as a framework for creating Learning ModulesTM that seamlessly integrate current educational standards. The system also streamlines the teaching process and supports strong classroom instruction by saving teachers time and energy, bridging the gap between the theory (frameworks and standards) and the practice of teaching (assessments, instruction, curriculum, teacher preparation and development). The Platform is accessible at any time and provides teachers with immediate feedback on student performance and achievement. Why Science has achieved success in its home base of New Haven CT, implemented in several K-12 classrooms, and has proven to increase STEM scores by over 22% after just three month’s use. In a recent Science Fair in New Haven, CT, inner city students trained by Why Science took seven of the top ten prizes awarded. Because of its demonstrated effectiveness, Why Science is now being adopted in school districts in Connecticut, and we are in active discussions on introduction into schools in New York, New Jersey and Maryland.
