Our software leverages various research-backed strategies and makes them easy for K-12 teachers and students to implement in their classrooms on a daily basis. We also work with learning science researchers to enable them to run studies through our software and make breakthroughs on the science of learning. We provided 2000 teachers and 20000 students with free access to our web platform, and we helped improve student learning outcomes for those students by helping them easily use research-backed learning strategies. We also worked with learning science researchers at CMU and The University of Memphis to help them conduct a study on the efficacy of spaced retrieval practice in the classroom. This research was supported by an NSF grant. 0 8568 8568 Joshua Ling President & CEO 5 0 0 0 Claire Shorall Director 1 0 0 0 Linhao Zhang Secretary 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA DE Joshua Ling 4204 Johns Light Dr Austin TX 78727 8325206046 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 0 177754 788 60395 238937 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 177754 788 60395 238937 238937 2900 11878 14778 253715 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 The organization receives licensing fees from Teaching Lab, another 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit organization, for their use of our web application called Podsie. Podsie is an educational technology tool that enables teachers and students to implement personalized spaced retrieval practice in the classroom, supporting our educational mission. The licensing fees totaled $2,900 in 2022 and $11,878 in 2023. RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 1 The organization received a $60,395 subaward from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) as part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) research grant (Award Abstract #2301130). Podsie served as a co-PI on this grant, with CMU as the lead PI. The funds were used to enhance our free educational technology platform by building an experimentation framework that enables CMU researchers to conduct NSF-funded research studies on the effectiveness of spaced retrieval practice in K-12 education, as well as to recruit teachers to participate in the study. This work directly supports our exempt educational purpose by advancing research-based improvements to our free learning tool for teachers and students. Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Our other expenses of $7,127 consist primarily of essential technology infrastructure and software services required to operate our free educational web application for teachers and students. These expenses include cloud hosting services for our web application through providers like Heroku and Supabase, developer tools and services such as GitHub and Netlify, artificial intelligence API services from OpenAI and similar providers, and necessary software subscriptions for team productivity and communication. These technology services are fundamental to our mission of providing teachers and students with free access to personalized learning tools that implement evidence-based spaced retrieval practice techniques.
