Cross-Platform Digital E-Learning Platform for Kids

Project background

Two childhood friends who volunteered as math tutors for neighborhood kids came up with an idea of building a digital learning platform for children that would democratize education. What started with a simple website offering math courses soon grew into a more ambitious project that aimed to reach for the stars – and bring curious young minds along with them.

The newly founded startup planned to expand its e-learning development with more subjects and options for schools and families. The focus was on providing a custom learning path that utilized the power of gamification to engage children of various ages, from kindergarten and elementary students to teenagers.

This game-changing education platform for youth needed to work seamlessly and fast across all devices. Targeted towards young learners, it was required to be very user-friendly and fun — but also truly secure and effective. The startup also planned to expand into new markets beyond Sweden, so the EdTech software needed to be able to scale up smoothly.

To achieve these goals, the CHI Software team was brought in to join the ongoing project and enhance the startup’s in-house development capacities. Our experts’ role focused on optimizing performance, expanding functionality, and adding new features to increase user engagement.
