Working at
Planet Peanut

Engaging every student in the classroom and ensuring their full participation and understanding in STEM subjects is a significant challenge for teachers today, leading to a decline in students' abilities in math and science. Our Solution: We introduce a dynamic, game-based learning platform that helps teachers engage their entire classroom in math and science through team competitions. Our platform includes: Team Competition Facilitator: - Students collaborate and compete in teams, fostering unity and motivation. - They participate in leagues throughout the year, earning points by solving STEM problems and preparing for the annual "Golden Peanut" competition. Experiences of Success: - Every lesson completion earns rewards, building a visual learning curve and reinforcing achievement. - This positive reinforcement keeps students engaged and motivated. Gamified Micro Lessons: - Lessons are small, engaging challenges that advance students' avatars in an interactive storyline. - Students see immediate progress, establishing a consistent learning habit. Teacher Assessment Tool: - Teachers track student progress, identifying strengths and areas needing attention. - Customizable local competitions tailored to the curriculum enhance daily engagement. Platform Features: Our app enables students to solve STEM problems in a gamified format, earning in-game rewards while enjoying the process. Each student selects an avatar that progresses through the storyline on PlanetPeanut, engaging in team competitions and climbing leaderboards. Annual "Golden Peanut" Competition: At the end of each school year, classes compete in an exciting 10-day event to win the Golden Peanut. Each day presents specific subject challenges, promoting teamwork and problem-solving skills. Students support each other, striving to earn the highest points for their class. Leagues and Continuous Engagement: Throughout the year, students participate in leagues similar to popular battle passes from games like FIFA and Fortnite. These leagues prepare their avatars for the grand competition, reinforcing continuous learning and engagement. Real-World Impact: Our platform has facilitated numerous examples of peer learning and collaboration. For instance, during one competition, five students spent several hours on a Sunday working together on Zoom to earn points for their class. Combining the motivational elements of gamification with effective e-learning strategies, our platform ensures that students understand STEM concepts while enjoying the learning journey. Our goal is to make every classroom feel like a cohesive team, celebrating shared achievements and fostering a deeper understanding of STEM education.
