MobyMax is a complete, online primary school curriculum which covers all lessons, assessments and practice work for kindergarten to 8th grade students. 

MobyMax's web-based platform is adaptive and can find and fix a student's missing skills in Math and English and has been used by over 16 million students in the US.

This year, MobyMax initiated two pilots in Botswana to determine how the curriculum can be adapted to local education standards and used by low-resourced, English-speaking students worldwide.

The presentation will explain how MobyMax's program has been adapted and used by students in a low-resourced school and an after-school tutoring program for vulnerable youth in Botswana. MobyMax is free to NGOs helping vulnerable students outside the United States.

Glynn Willet is co-CEO and co-Founder of MobyMax. In his entrepreneurial career, he has created over 25 successful software products. One of his companies, ATX, was inducted into INC magazine’s Hall of Fame for making their fastest growing companies list five years in a row.

Christianna Pangalos, is passionate about innovative solutions that improve the lives of low-income populations. Over the past 15 years, she has led multi-million dollar portfolios and teams with the United Nations, USAID, the World Bank and International NGOs.  She has lived and worked in Africa, Latin America, Europe and the United States and is currently working with MobyMax to bring an affordable, online, primary school curriculum to mass low-income populations around the world.
