Socratic

Homework assistance in your hand

 

Socratic

Get unstuck. Learn better.

Socratic is an online community-driven resource for students in high school and college. The folks at Socratic wanted to prototype and develop an initial Homework Assistance concept, the idea being a tool that would help unstick students from pain points in homework. The result of our work is an application in which a student snaps a photo of a homework problem and is given a set of resources to help solve their question.

My responsibilities included:

  • structuring and facilitating initial product research and ideation

  • building initial prototypes for purposes of testing concept directions and technologies

  • advise engineering team on hiring approach for building mobile team

  • advise mobile engineering team on process, practice, and architecture

Socratic has received many accolades, including frequently being featured in the Apple App Store and in the top 10 Free Education Apps, and has since been acquired by Google.
