Our take

Accessing good quality STEM education is not possible for everyone and is the biggest obstacle in encouraging student uptake. Numerade is an edtech looking to directly address this shortfall, democratizing access to high-quality STEM education through online videos and interactive teaching.

While the concept of asynchronous tutorial videos has become common in the edtech realm, with giants like Udemy and Coursera adopting this approach, Numerade sets itself apart with its algorithmic video recommendation system. This innovative approach has the potential to reshape the landscape of online learning, provided Numerade successfully tailors video suggestions to individual user preferences, opening up new horizons in the field of video-based education.

The company's recent partnership with George Fox University is a significant step in enhancing STEM education. By providing free access to its vast library of video tutorials, AI-powered tutoring, and other resources, Numerade will help boost student access in STEM fields.
