Built at Auburn University

Science on Wheels, Powered by Technology

We bring hands-on science to schools across Alabama — tablets, sensors, robots, the works. We needed an LMS that could keep up. Nothing existed, so we built one.

Here's What We Built

When you're teaching science out of a van, you need software that actually fits the workflow. Here's how ours works.

Lessons That Feel Like Games

Students drag, tap, match, and explore through 12+ interactive question types. They think they're playing — they're actually learning. And every answer maps to a standard behind the scenes.

You Stay in Control

Pause every tablet at once, push a message to all screens, set rotation timers, see who's where — one dashboard, the whole room, in real time.

Standards, Without Students Knowing

Every question ties to a specific state standard — Alabama Course of Study today, but the system can import any curriculum. Students see a fun activity; teachers get mastery data.

Visits, Managed

Schedule a school visit, generate a join code, and every tablet in the room syncs up. Track which devices are connected, which stations are running, and who's done.

Reports That Tell a Story

As soon as the visit ends, you get a full breakdown — by station, by standard, by student. Teachers can share the report with administration through a simple link.

Flexible by Design

Built for Geo Explorer Auburn, but not locked to it. Import your own standards, build your own lessons, run your own program. The LMS adapts to whatever you're teaching.

Go Ahead — Try It

These are actual question types from the tablet app. Give them a shot, then check what's happening behind the scenes.

Fun for Students. Powerful for Teachers.

Here's the trick: students think they're playing a game. They're dragging labels, sorting items, tapping answers — it feels like an app, not a test. But behind every interaction, the LMS is quietly tagging their response to a specific state standard and building a picture of what they know.

Right now, Geo Explorer Auburn is tied to Alabama science and social studies standards. But the system is built to be flexible — you can import any curriculum, any set of standards, and map your content to it. The structure adapts; you're not locked into one framework.

  • Every question maps to a specific standard — students never see the tag
  • Import any curriculum — Alabama today, your state tomorrow
  • Track mastery per student, per visit, per standard
  • Teachers get the data; students get the fun

While Students Learn, We're Gathering Data

Every tap, drag, and answer feeds into a visit report. By the time students pack up, teachers already have a full picture.

We looked everywhere for an LMS that fit a mobile science lab. It didn't exist — so we built one.

The Geo Explorer Auburn program brings hands-on geospatial science to K-12 schools across Alabama. We show up with a van full of tablets, sensors, robots, and mapping tools, set up six learning stations, and let students rotate through real science experiences.

But we needed software that could manage all of it — schedule visits, push different lessons to different stations, give teachers a live dashboard, and track which standards each student actually mastered. We couldn't find anything like that. So we built this LMS from scratch, shaped around the way mobile, hands-on science education actually works.

If you run a mobile STEM lab, a museum education program, or any hands-on learning environment and you've been cobbling together tools that weren't built for this — let's talk.

If any of this sounds like what you've been looking for, we'd love to show you the full system. No sales pitch — just a walkthrough of what we built and how it might fit your program.
