STEM curriculum and digital learning platform for K–12 schools
Accelerate Learning operates a STEM education platform reaching 9 million students and 750,000 teachers across all 50 US states. The infrastructure is modern and cloud-native—Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and a full CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins)—reflecting active scaling pressure. Current focus areas (event-driven architecture, real-time APIs, SSO implementation, AI feature development) signal a shift toward platform-first infrastructure and real-time interoperability with school systems like Canvas and Schoology, away from purely static curriculum delivery.
Accelerate Learning develops research-based STEM curriculum and digital learning applications for K–12 schools. The platform combines hands-on, inquiry-based lessons with digital tools, built collaboratively with a network of over 200 practicing teachers who write, field-test, and validate all materials. Revenue comes from licensing curriculum content and access to online learning applications. The company operates from Houston, TX, with all hiring currently in the United States. Scale and infrastructure complexity are core constraints: pain-point signals include rapid growth scaling, cloud cost optimization, and legacy curriculum content maintenance alongside newer digital-first features.
