From an MVP to a successful e-learning platform dedicated to students and teachers to bring real-world experience into the classroom. Defined supports over 108,000 teachers in over 5,000 schools across the United States. We have been collaborating with Defined for over 4 years delivering successful results since the beginning.
our role
Scope of our work
Defined Learning contacted us to develop the MVP version of the Defined Careers app in Ruby on Rails. The whole code-base was built from scratch which later was integrated with Defined other existing systems. Our UX/UI team was also responsible for the designs later.

We integrated the system with Common App which helps apply to universities along with a customised resume system that can be easily created based on completed courses.
Chosen by 5000+ schools. Why?
We got to see kids who usually don’t want to make a mistake, the conversations they were having, how excited they were about presenting… they had no fear! It’s completely changed the culture. ¬ Bartlett City Schools
