Along with my co-founder and friend Jacob, I built a platform to teach STEM to middle schoolers. The platform provides carefully curated lessons to make learning into a daily habit. The app is on the App Store and Google Play and gained 1300+ users in 6 months.



The layout of the app, built with React Native/Swift/Expo. Implemented infinite scroll with optimized rendering and live leaderboard updates. The main challenge was managing state across tabs while maintaining smooth 60fps animations.



The daily lessons. They were implemented in an extremely modular way, supporting a wide range of media like images, videos, text, and multiple choice questions. Built a custom JSON schema for lesson content with Firebase Cloud Functions handling validation. Also integrates with user data.



The onboarding flow guides users through an example lesson. Implemented username validation with profanity filter using the bad-words library.
The Runway website, built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS. Features smooth animations and responsive design to showcase the app's features.


An early stage of the app. The early concepts focused on gamification and social features, which were later refined to emphasize the core daily lesson experience.
Marketing concept video, showcasing the app's user flow.

1,300+ users across 100+ countries. App Store Connect and custom event tracking provided insights into user behavior and retention patterns across different regions.
