RocketLit gives all students better access to learning and educators access to the data they need to be most impactful.
Our first product, RocketLit, is an adaptive and personalized learning platform that serves reading to students at their independent level. Students read the same content at different levels of complexity and fluidly move up reading levels as they improve.
InnerOrbit is our new Science Assessment platform, giving students, teachers and administrators the practice and data they need to be successful on science tests. We serve the highest quality content and feature the most detailed reporting on the market.
We’re a small and focused team working to change the world through science education. Our company has served over 650k students and we’re on track to more than double that number in the next year. We’re looking for folks who’ll grow into a leadership role within the organization.
