Strive teaches K12 math through code via live 1-1 online classes. In Strive classes, students code games and visualisations that are aligned to their school math syllabus. In the process, kids learn the most valuable skill in the 21st century: coding.
Hi Product Hunt. So happy to have @mwseibel from YC hunt us.
Strive's mission is to revolutionize math education to be more meaningful and applicable to the real world.
When data scientists, engineers or financial analysts do math, they use computers. In real-world maths, computers do almost all the calculating; by contrast, people do all the calculating in educational maths. This makes no sense!
In teaching students math that they will never use in the real world, we create formula reciting robots that hate the subject. This not only affects a student's confidence and career choice but in light of AI, if we fail to teach students how to think for themselves and instead focus on teaching them concepts that are trivial for computers, they will be deemed redundant in the 21st-century economy.
With math through code, we make math applicable to the real world and fun!
We've had more than 100 students go through our program and have seen first-hand the impact of making students emotionally engage in math. One of my favourite messages I've received from a parent was, "My daughter will be taking computer science at school thanks to her experience with Strive. I cannot begin to describe how happy I was to hear that!"
We love this community, and we're offering 20% off your first month of classes for product hunt parents.
I have been associated with Strive as a teacher for four months. It has been an amazing journey so far. I enjoyed when I saw the excitement of kids when they complete their projects. Students are loving it to see how Mathematics is applied in the real world in making really cool things. These classes make students learn the fundamentals of Mathematics and Programming in a very effective manner. This is the constant feedback heard from the kids and their parents who have been learning with us.
I wish to learn and teach many more amazing projects to the kids in Strive !!!
Hey everyone, I have been teaching at Strive for the last few months and can confirm that it is a game-changer for education in STEM.
The level of innovation and inspiration of the team is really something special, and the content itself/ delivery thereof is refreshing, creative and appealing to kids.
Strive has an exciting vision, matched with a strong track record of making a difference in many young lives, and I look forward to seeing how far it goes!
