How can you get students to enjoy math and bring families closer together? This seems like an age old debate that has been addressed in the education system time and time again. Now there seems to be a larger than ever traveling exhibit that is at the Virginia Air and Space Center that just might have the answer to this!

Bringing Math to Life to Students

The exhibit brings together what students are interested in so that they can learn the material that they wouldn’t usually find entertaining. How do they do this? They are using video games and sports together with math. Even music plays a part in this exhibit and while it is geared towards students, families are loving this exhibit together.

We’re trying to relate to the kids and to get them excited about things that they understand — video games, music, skateboarding, snowboards — getting them in hands-on exhibits so that they can relate to things that they’re learning in school with hands-on application and activity that we’re doing here.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
