We're seeking (incoming) 6th grade playtesters for our new math storylines. They'll have a 90m 1:1 session via Google Meets (camera on for critical facial expressions!) with one of our team members, where they'll go through a storyline on statistics and discuss the learning. We use this to help make sure kids are getting the right learning out of it! We'll also send a $10 gift card afterwards, to a place of their choice.

Please DM us if you're interested, and we will send you a link to schedule.

Note: Due to curricula differences, this is only available for students based in the U.S.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We are doing research to help us with an upcoming pilot program that will facilitate parental engagement in student learning.

Surveys have shown that parents want to engage with their kids about what they’re learning at school, but many don’t know where to start. We want to bridge that gap by reaching out directly and helping parents stay in the loop about…

- What your kids are learning in school (specifically with Tyto Online)
- How this science applies to future careers, as well as everyday life
- How to take advantage of relevant learning opportunities with your children when they’re not in the classroom

If you’re interested in participating in a “stakeholder interview,” schedule using this link!

We want to know… How do you think parental involvement can impact student learning and engagement? What are some challenges you have faced when trying to keep parents “in the loop”?

We are developing a new feature in Tyto Online called Expeditions, in which students would need to work together in groups to solve a problem in an ecosystem.
