At CK-12, our mission is not only noble, but it’s also very ambitious. We want to give every child on earth equal and meaningful access to Education.
One of the critical piece of our offering is marrying great content with a great presentation! We create
experiences that are very simple, yet quite functional; rich, yet highly performant. Interactive content that really uses the power of digital is our route. We are also pushing the possibilities in new areas such as simulations and highly interactive
objects. All these offering needs to be fully customizable and highly usable by non-technical users.
