Kognity is one the fastest growing EdTech companies in the world and we aim to radically improve learning for 1.5 billion school students globally.

00:05 We've worked with schools in over 110 countries now so I think we've seen a lot of different challenges on learning and teaching, really.

00:13 NGSS implementation is always going to be a challenge because it's different. Any time you ask teachers to change something up we always get pushback because we get comfortable. We do what we understand and what we know.

The NGSS allows students to actually think and act like scientists.
In the past, our instruction really focused more on rote learning memorization of facts and figures and the opportunity for students to really get in and act like a scientist lies within the Next Generation
Science Standards.

00:48 Students are being able to think outside the box, and we need that. We need that for our future architects. We need that for our future engineers.

00:57 NGSS took everything we knew from a Science standpoint and turned it on its head. We need to break out of the mold and get out of rote memorization and mastering conceptional understanding.

01:07 The student now has to figure it out however way they do to solve a problem. And that's what I think is much needed to get us to, you know, maybe get a human to Mars or farther into space. That kind of thinking.

Kids understand technology better than adults ever will. So give them what they need. Use technology to teach.
