Our Story

Supporting student and teacher success by co-building with educators

Render believes educators’ insights are key to creating effective technologies for schools

Better when built together

Through our district partnerships, we engage educators, specialists, and leaders throughout the product development process—incorporating first-hand experience, feedback, and ideas to co-build tools that address today’s pressing classroom challenges.
