7. Brite

Founded: 2020

“A fun way to learn a new skill is to do something you enjoy. Whether it’s playing a video game or writing code on a computer, the freedom to choose what you want to do is a powerful tool in driving interest, engagement, and in turn, achievement.

Computer science education is more important than ever, since tech is becoming an increasingly vital part of our daily lives. Yet, many schools still don’t offer computer science as a class.

That’s why we created Brite. It’s a fun and interactive platform that uses gaming elements to help young people develop their coding skills, while also entertaining them.”
