OracleVoice: Next-Gen Educational Tools Deliver A Big Dose Of Fun

The biannual Launch CMU spotlights Carnegie Mellon students, graduates, and professors who combine expertise in cognitive science, computer science, artificial intelligence, educational psychology, and a large dose of creativity to create innovative advancements in education. Because the research and tech showcase focuses on entrepreneurship, the event included demos by various startups, including Expii, billed as a "community-built textbook that thinks like you do." According to its website, Expii makes it easy to create and rate interactive lessons, which simulate one-on-one tutoring experiences. Think rapid-fire question and answer, video, and more. Po-Shen Loh, a Carnegie Mellon math professor and founder of Expii, said his objective is to multiply the number of people who love math and science by 10. "We are creating a product of high value with very low variable and fixed costs, and we charge zero for it. Our team combines expert talent from math, science, and education. As math and science enthusiasts ourselves, we're uniting the enthusiast community to create its unique solution to education," Loh said.
