Today rounds out my first week at Knewton, where I’ll be interning this summer. Knewton is a medium-sized (~80 people) tech startup in Manhattan that makes adaptive learning software. Knewton’s software uses intelligent algorithms to direct students through modular course curricula which adapts as the student proceeds. The core ideas is to present students with content that will optimally build their knowledge and assessments which optimally gauge proficiency. If you’d like to know more, just visit their website.
My first impressions of Knewton:
It’s a fun place to work. Typical startup atmosphere: very friendly and informal, but hardworking. I get lots of nice perks, too, like free dinner every day.
Nice post! would be nice to see some pictures of your office!
