| I would love feedback on my project BlockSchool from anyone who is interested in ed-tech! BlockSchool is an online coding school for kids ages 6 to 13. We hire teachers from top colleges and companies like Stanford and Facebook, and connect them with students who don't have easy access to high-quality instruction. Our classes are conducted via video chat in a fun 3D block-based world where everything can be controlled by writing Puzzle code (our visual programming language), JavaScript, and Python. It's collaborative, social, and kids love the creative freedom we give them. We are focused on 1:1 and 1:2 instruction now which isn't 'scalable' but later on, we plan on offering a help service for kids only when they get stuck or need a new concept explained. This will lower the cost for students substantially. We hope to follow in the footsteps of VIPkid on this front. We are based in Seoul/SF, so we have a number of students in China, Japan, and Korea already, but a majority of our customers are in the US. If anyone is interested in offering feedback, here is our website: https://block.school We'll be applying to YC too! Hopefully our project is relevant to what they're looking for. We're also growing quite fast :) |
I have one kid, who is at your target. But I am not sure if I need tutoring like for block programming. I am more interested in real programming. Also, it is not clear what you will achieve at the end.
But, keep doing the good work since you have traction and I guess that people like the teaching quality, which you need to keep it consistent.
