Aptitudes are the key.

Kickstart school success by connecting students to their innate aptitudes—a more powerful, proven measurement than traditional academic merit or interest-based exposure. Results from our fun, science-based brain games are then AI-matched to best-fitting careers and educational pathways, opening opportunities students never considered previously and making school more relevant and personal.

Through their dashboard, students can earn industry-recognized certifications, gain real-world experience, explore postsecondary options, and connect with potential employers.

Educators and administrators gain valuable insight and analytics into student progress, informing graduation planning and career guidance, and simplifying administration and work-based learning (WBL) programs.
