A mission to amplify engagement… and learning

"Education should stimulate the learner's mind, inspire curiosity and bring out the creative genius in every student."

About Us

  • eGlass

    eGlass was developed in 2020 to address antiquated board writing systems that discouraged teacher-student connection in classrooms, and were completely unsuited for online remote learning.

    eGlass, a transparent lightboard with a built-in camera, enables teachers to maintain critical eye contact with students while writing at the board. It's a tool for driving education equity for better outcomes, raising student engagement in any learning setting.

    Since the launch of eGlass in 2020, eGlass has been recognized for several edtech awards including the Best of Show at ISTE 2020, Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence for Back to School, Tech & Learning Best of 2021, Best of Show and Best in Market at Infocomm 2021, and 2021 Fast Company Next Best Things in Tech 2021.
