about us

At OKO, our journey began with a simple question: What if we could give every educator an extra set of hands in the classroom? It was this question that brought together our co-founders, Laurence Holt and Matt Miller, who share decades of experience in creating transformative educational technologies. They interviewed countless educators, discovering that the ability to "pull a small group" for targeted instruction was a universal need, yet often out of reach due to resource constraints. This insight sparked the inception of OKO, aiming to bridge this gap through AI-powered collaborative learning.

OKO stands at the intersection of academic rigor and social-emotional learning, offering a suite of games and puzzles designed for small groups in upper elementary classrooms. By fostering an environment where students engage in meaningful discussions, solve problems collaboratively, and support each other's learning, OKO not only achieves meaningful learning gains but also cultivates vital social skills. Our platform reflects a commitment to making learning more equitable, engaging, and effective.
