The Opportunity

Our work in education is aimed at ensuring that every student - not just a lucky few - can get an education that's tailored to their individual needs and supports every aspect of their development. An example of our work is our partnership with Summit Learning - a personalized approach to education developed by Summit Public Schools in partnership with learning scientists, researchers, and academics. With Summit Learning, students gain the skills, knowledge and habits to succeed in college and enter adulthood with a clear vision for achieving purpose and wellbeing in life.

Both education products, the Summit Learning Platform, and the newly launched video journal, Along, rely on accurate student data in order to personalize the learning experience. We're responsible for earning and maintaining user trust through building infrastructures that guarantee the security and privacy of the products.
