Last Tuesday evening, the education technology community descended on LearnLaunch for the October LearnLaunch Café Night. A collaboration with HUBweek Open Doors, Café Night was a great opportunity to tour the campus and to meet some of the companies in the fall cohort of the LearnLaunch Accelerator.

Five of the nine companies in the fall 2018 cohort came to the event to share what they are doing to improve teaching and learning.

Beagle Learning is a web-based app that works as an analysis tool for students’ questions, providing the teacher with insight into their needs and academic improvement. Led by Co-Founders Turner Bohlen and Carolyn Goettsch, Beagle Learning trains the necessary critical thinking and problem solving skills that students need today.
