Upon graduation from Cornell, I used the creative problem-solving skills I had learned to help build PLANETii (www.planetii.com), a start-up company aimed at rethinking K-12 math education using the Internet. With our multi-cultural connections and passion for education, the co-founders and I set out to create a personalized interactive math experience for children and a worldwide progress assessment tool for their parents.
My extensive work in curriculum and algorithm development helped imagine the interactive world for the user experience. Capitalizing on the networked aspect of the curriculum, we represented each learning category (such as Measures or Numbers) as a separate world whose environment grew as the child completed math topics — it was a simple solution that rewarded our students' hard work and motivated them to practice more.
