Founder’s Note
Hi Everyone!
This time of year is exciting for us as educators in the northern hemisphere as we prepare for fall semester. There’s so much to look forward to.
You’re not oblivious to the fact that there are still a lot of uncertainties around what school is going to look like, and neither am I, but I would encourage all of us to take a minute and think about all of the great reasons to be glad to be in the education space. We truly get to have a big impact on the future.
It can seem a little daunting, but the resources are better than ever, and education companies (yes, including Stukent) are innovating like CRAZY.Stay tuned. We’ve got a lot of really game changing announcements coming about resources for all of our educators and students.
