Project Description

DID YOU KNOW?

College graduates often wishing that they had pursued a different degree.

65% of K12 students do not have access to skill development tools that can help them identify their interests and passions to help find what makes them tick?

There is a 1:500 counselor to student ratio for college counselors to students and therefore often students of color get the least amount of help and resources in identifying how to proceed beyond high school.

THE BIG PICTURE

UpBrainery believes that every child is good at something and it is not always math and science.  By the time kids go to school and are forced to deal with testing in core subjects they are exhausted. If we supplement what the kids are learning in school and add in ways to explore how their brain works and explore what really sparks their interest, we can open up their minds and turbo-drive their innate aptitude to more than traditional paths beyond high school.

What if I could tell you that your child will explore 8 different career goals before they really figure out what they want to do and how to go about it. 

With partnerships in place with Whataburger, Houston Rockets, and Girls Scouts of America utilizing our educational 2 sided marketplace and Visual Journey Goal Mapping toolkit, we plan to change this narrative.

WHO WE ARE

UpBrainery gets kids to explore and capitalize educational pathways based on their aptitude faster and more effectively with Live or DIY content from expert content developers across the world 24 x7.   With this tool, we intend to make a debt in the college debt crisis which is currently a 1.4 Trillion dollar industry and help students figure out their path to either a 4 year; 2 year; vocational or straight to workforce.

UpBrainery has uncovered the evil genius plan to get kids to explore and capitalize educational pathways based on their aptitude.

 HOW WE DO IT

BrainLab, UpBrainery’s AI driven platform applies data points collected from usage of the platform including student interests, learning styles, skills gained, subjects explored, internships and other academic and non academic experiences to help build specific guided pathways and manage alignment with intended career and college goals.  The tool helps visualize, in a Gamified manner, current paths as well as explore in real time how alternative choices will affect goal attainment.  Based on goals set, the pathways adjust to show how certain choices can lead to alternate outcomes, thus putting the power of visualization in the hands of the students and other stakeholders and providing them with concrete tools.  With college readiness badges and technical certifications, this is a true game changer in exploring and achieving career and academic goals.

UpBrainery’s AI-platform aims to provide educational equity to all by guiding students through its journey mapping tool.

Students input academic and non-academic career goals into the journey mapping tool and the software formulates their personalized educational curriculum. The dynamic curriculum aligns a students educational interests and learning styles with their goals to visualize the steps needed to achieve them and adapts over time as the student’s interests evolve. Stakeholders in a child’s educational journey (parents and teachers) can then leverage the platform to provide better opportunities and guide students.
