About Us

Boomerang operates across 4 time zones, with passionate professionals from coast to coast in the US as well as overseas. Made up of passionate and talented professionals, we are democratizing learning by creating a platform for students, made by students.

Background

Boomerang Learning was founded with a vision to revolutionize the educational landscape by leveraging technology to create a personalized and adaptive learning experience. We saw how difficult it was to understand a student's learning abilities, and easily access this. Which is why we have created Boomerang.

In a rapidly evolving educational environment, Boomerang Learning aims to help students seeking effective learning solutions, parents actively involved in their children's education, and teachers dedicated to personalized instruction. We hope to change the lives of students, engaging them in learning and sparking curiosity.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to shaping education for individual needs, and equipping students, parents, and teachers with tools that promote academic success. Boomerang Learning is committed to cultivating a dynamic and supportive learning community that keeps everybody in the loop to ensure student proficiency.

Our Story

Our journey began in October 2023 with the inception of Boomerang Learning. As volunteer tutors at a local YMCA in the Evansville Promise Zone, we encountered a significant challenge: many students were falling behind state learning standards. Despite our best efforts, it was difficult to address the diverse learning needs of numerous students in our limited time.

The lack of continuity between different volunteer tutors and the absence of a centralized system to track student progress became apparent. This realization sparked the idea for Boomerang Learning—a hub of learning information for both students and those who support them.

We envisioned Boomerang as a solution that harnesses AI and technology to tackle these educational challenges. By generating questions based on state curricula, we aim to create a comprehensive database for students to practice anytime, anywhere—not just within classroom confines.

Our platform utilizes AI and analytics to monitor student progress and proficiency across various learning standards. This ensures that teachers, afterschool programs, and parents remain informed about each student's educational journey, allowing for targeted support both within and outside our app.

Boomerang Learning's potential was recognized at the U.E. Changemaker Challenge, where we secured over $200,000 in renewable scholarships. We're deeply involved with our local community, schools, and tutoring centers to expand Boomerang's reach. Currently, we're seeking seed funding to develop our app and realize our vision of nationwide implementation in schools.
