Who’s behind Cleverr.

When a child gets a question wrong, there’s nearly always an idea underneath. A child who expects white light to leave a prism still white has a picture of light in their head. It’s a reasonable picture, and it’s exactly what a good teacher wants to hear.

A full room and a bell at the end of the period leave no time to hear it from every child. Homework is lonelier still: a child works alone or copies from the group chat, and the idea comes back to school untouched.

So we built Cleverr around listening. The teacher teaches in class. That evening, Spark sits with each child, talks the lesson through with them out loud, and asks what they were thinking when the answer went wrong.
