🔮 Our Analysis
Oftentimes, it can be rather difficult for students to truly absorb the concepts at play behind mathematics subjects such as Algebra and Geometry. Recent studies show that approximately 82% of American students from grades 7-10 are apprehensive about learning math. Prisms VR offers a new approach to finding a solution to this problem. Every student has differing strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning. Some require more effort and attention than others. Because of this, the company is taking a pioneering approach to creating a model of learning tailored to each student's strengths and weaknesses. Its use of hands-on virtual reality learning models for K-12th grade students to learn at a rate fit for them is a pioneering approach. Given the increasing rate of technology being used in the classroom, fueled in part by the shift to remote education during the COVID-19 pandemic, Prisms VR is positioned to have a successful future. If you’re interested in this space, stay tuned, as we'll be exploring EdTech closer in an upcoming company cover.
