Our mission is to make it easy for teachers to create interactive games and worksheets for their students.

If they want to use the same content in a different template, they can convert it with a single click, and have a completely different way of interacting with the same content. We seek to disrupt the publisher-driven model of paid-for “professionally” made educational content by putting high-quality content creation in the hands of teachers and making that teacher-made content accessible through our online community.

We are a small team with big ambitions who work remotely across the world. We have over 35 million monthly users, and we’re still growing fast. We’ve got a product that works and we’re building for the long-term. We’re looking for people who want to stick around, grow with us and help make games-based learning accessible to all.
