  • Building an educational site to help improve K-12 math and science test scores of U.S. students.
  • URL: www.getsmarter.org
  • Launched: 2001

Overview:

The Council on Competitiveness is a non-profit organization founded in 1986 by John Young, then-president of Hewlett-Packard. The mission of the GetSmarter.org site is to encourage interest and achievement in K-12 math and science education. As part of this mission, the GetSmarter.org needed to create a fun and engaging online edutainment application to inspire kids to learn.

Solution:

  • Created original characters and sophisticated animations that provided a foundation for the educational content and practice tests
  • Integrated timed math and science quizzes in a variety of subjects such as algebra, geometry, life science, and biology for elementary, middle and high-school level students
  • On the backend, the site allows for detailed reporting that shows the number of users who have accessed the quizzes, how much time each user spent on the site, the average scores for each grade level and by subject
  • The project was developed using SQL, ColdFusion and Flash Generator

Results

 

  • The site has won numerous awards and accolades, including the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse Digital Dozen Award
  • PBS TeacherSource Recommended Link, NewMedia INVISION Award, SchoolZone 5-Star Rating, Education Planet Top Site Rating and an A+ Rating from Education World.
