questions solved

1 billion students can’t reliably use video-based educational platforms due to device- and internet-related limitations. We reach them through simple low-bandwidth channels like SMS, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

Our platform provides a fully-automated interactive and personalized learning experience for students, and is powered by algorithms that were designed to improve learning outcomes and reverse learning losses.

Darsel is a supplemental tool for K12 school systems. All our content is curriculum-aligned. We partner with schools and give math teachers data on their students’ skills and needs.

We’re an EdTech non-profit that emerged from research at Harvard and Stanford. Want to help us unlock human potential in the world’s most resource-constrained communities?
