Adult learners often face a broken digital learning experience — language barriers, outdated tools, and limited digital skills make learning overwhelming.
Brain is a multilingual, inclusive platform built for a California-based charter school to help adult learners earn diplomas, learn English, and access essential services all in one place.

Strengthening communication channels between teachers and students can foster collaboration, by promoting engagement in student learning.

Diverse ages and backgrounds

Language barrier

Low digital literacy

Complex educational needs

Highlands is an adult high school in California serving refugees and underprivileged learners with low English and digital skills. A unified digital platform is needed to improve attendance, streamline learning, and support services. The goal is to create an easy-to-use app that integrates education, communication, and progress tracking to boost retention and outcomes.

Common painpoints

01. Digital & Language Barriers

Many learners had never used a mouse. Some couldn’t read in any language.

02. Clunky Attendance Logging

Manual systems were slow, inaccurate, and demotivating.

03. Disconnected Campus Experience

Updates, events, and services lived in silos.

04. Safety & Urgent Communication

Emergency protocols were slow and outdated.

We added tablets in classrooms, started tracking student progress in real time, and made it easier for teachers, students to stay in touch. Invested in modern technology infrastructure including tablets, real-time data management systems, and integrated communication platforms to enhance digital learning, enable personalized student support, and foster effective collaboration among teachers, parents, and students.
