EdSpan

About

EdSpan is an innovative company in the EdTech space, building cutting-edge learning experiences for the next generation of students. Our collaboration with a US-based private school network helps us better understand user needs while expanding our B2C and B2B products to a broader audience. We are currently working on three major projects:

AI tutoring experience — an innovative project that brings real-time interaction with a 3D animated assistant powered by LLM technology. This virtual tutor helps students navigate challenges, provides guidance, and enhances the learning journey in a playful and engaging way.

Tutorpeers – a peer-to-peer tutoring platform with a young teachers marketplace, event booking features and Zoom-like online sessions with additional interactive learning tools.

Spark Incubator – LMS-like system designed to teach kids entrepreneurship.

We have well-defined processes, trying to automate routine things, conduct code reviews, use CI and CD pipelines to validate and ship our code. We use the Agile approach with daily stand-ups, bi-weekly sprints, and other Scrum artifacts. We keep the number of meetings to a minimum so that engineers can focus on writing high-quality code and delivering cool features.
