Qweebi, an internet STEM studying platform that permits faculties to run hands-on engineering and robotics tasks totally by means of an internet browser, has raised $500,000 in a seed funding spherical led by Inflection Level Ventures (IPV), a Gurugram-based angel funding platform.

The spherical additionally noticed participation from Jeroen Tas, former Co-founder of Mphasis and Chief Innovation & Technique Officer at Philips, and Arpit Jain, Co-founder & CEO of SplashLearn, a number one Okay-12 math platform in the US.

Qweebi is an internet makerspace that permits Okay-12 faculties and lecturers to run hands-on STEM tasks immediately in an internet browser. The platform permits college students to design, construct, and check engineering & robotics tasks in a digital surroundings, serving to faculties ship cutting-edge STEM studying with out the fee and logistics challenges of bodily supplies.

The edtech startup plans to make use of the funds to additional develop its product and broaden adoption throughout US faculty districts. The startup claims that over 5,200 faculties throughout all 50 US states have signed up to make use of its platform.

“In the event you actually need to grasp one thing, you must really do it, you may’t simply examine it or watch another person do it. That’s one thing everyone knows, and it’s the essence of hands-on studying. College methods all over the world are more and more shifting past books and movies towards hands-on experiences. However in actual lecture rooms, value and friction nonetheless make it extraordinarily tough for lecturers to run these tasks at scale. At Qweebi, we’re eradicating these boundaries to make hands-on studying easy and accessible, so each little one has the chance to really learn-by-doing,” mentioned Vivek Seetharaman, CEO of Qweebi.

Commenting on the funding, Mitesh Shah, Co-founder, Inflection Level Ventures, mentioned, “STEM schooling is changing into more and more vital in making ready college students for the longer term workforce, but faculties typically battle with the prices and logistics concerned in delivering hands-on studying. Qweebi’s browser-based method removes these boundaries by making engineering and robotics schooling accessible with out requiring bodily infrastructure. Their robust natural adoption throughout US faculties demonstrates the true demand for scalable digital STEM studying options, and we imagine the crew is effectively positioned to broaden this mannequin globally.”
