Education and Workforce Development are About to Change Significantly
Heroic U – What We Do and Why
The bottom 40% of students are consistently scoring around 10-20% lower on the state reading and math tests starting at 3rd grade.
This data means that most of those kids are not going to be contributing to their communities – the opposite will happen.
These kids and their parent/s are stuck in generational cycles that are almost impossible to break free from.
We have figured out a way to disrupt these cycles with technology – specifically our kid-driven, game-based skills learning – Heroic Game Day.
By engaging kids in a relevant skills learning game, we can motivate them to learn the life-skills of success without a teacher or classroom time.
We can also connect with and engage the parent through their child’s activity and help them to see the many opportunities in the community to not only help their child, but also help themselves upskill and move up the social ladder.
The skills they learn are those that the business community have worked with the educators and gamers to integrate into the gameplay.
By using technology this can be done with millions of families the same way it can be done with one – it is extremely scalable with predictable learning outcomes.
By connecting and engaging with these families, we are now bringing the bottom 40% of the population into the current and future workforce. Our workforce shortages are solved by allocating existing dollars and resources in the people right in our own communities.
This rising tide of disadvantaged families will ultimately lift the whole community as they become contributing members.
We are so confident of the data we’re seeing that we’re willing to guarantee it will work, or we do the work at no cost.
We are in the perfect storm to scale this workforce development platform working with parents, educators, business, government and the media:
- We have high student learning loss and low achievement scores compared to the rest of the world
- There is a growing shortage of teachers and classroom learning time
- Parents want to have more influence and visibility into what their children are learning
- Good government wants a better education system that uses existing funds more effectively to build the workforce
- Corporate America wants to have more influence in the education of their future workforce
Everybody wins: the student, family, business, community and school.

The Foundation of What We Do
Scalability
In order to make an impact on a problem of this magnitude, you need to have an extremely scalable solution that delivers the same results whether there are millions or one family participating.
Engagement
Learning comes down to relevance, if someone is interested or wants to learn something they will figure out how to learn it, regardless of any obstacles in their way.
Accountability
This is our guarantee: “Students that spend at least 30 minutes per day, 5 days a week, completing Heroic Game Day missions will not just be workforce ready, they WILL improve their scores on the state reading and math assessments to proficiency and above. If they don’t, we will coach them – at no cost – until they do”
