Elephant Learning was featured on Denver local news in 2017 when 2-year-old Miley was doing kindergarten mathematics after using Elephant Learning for 3 months.

When learning about numbers at Rick’s Center for Gifted Children in Denver, getting youth engaged in math now can help with a problem some students may face in the future. “In kindergarten they are already behind and they never really statistically catch up,” Elephant Learning CEO Aditya Nagrath said. “Mathematics for young children before algebra can predict success all the way to high school and even to college.”

University of Denver researchers create Elephant Learning Computer Education System to help empower children with mathematics.

Dr. Aditya Nagrath is a visionary leader on a mission to change the way that the world teaches mathematics. Dr. Nagrath is the co-founded Elephant Learning Math Academy which is a gamification of a proven curriculum. On average, children in Elephant Learning learn 1.5 years of mathematics in 10 weeks using the system just 30 minutes per week.

Bootstrapping his business over the last 4 years, Aditya Nagrath joins this episode for a very informative show about the importance of the "language of math" for our youth, his thoughts on the current racial injustice environment, and his best practices for success! ABOUT DR. NAGRATH I am the creator of Elephant Learning Math Academy. We created this experience for children so that we could ensure that the next generation, including my child, has a greater chance of success. When we started this project, we knew that we would be able to teach math concepts to children more effectively than ever before. At the same time, we know now that math skills are paramount in our children's cognitive development and chances of success down the road. I felt compelled to ensure my own child learn these materials. You are looking at the pinnacle of my life's work as a mathematician, software engineer & technologist, and entrepreneur.

Dr. Nagrath, at age 14, taught himself C++ and continued on to read books on game development and neural networks which are the basis for modern day artificial intelligence. He graduated from the University of Denver with a dual major of Mathematics and Computer Science, continuing on to graduate school while working full time as a software developer to graduate with a PhD in Mathematics & Computer Science 7 years later. How The Dots Joined Up For Elephant Learning After at decade in University, Dr. Nagrath graduated to found Elephant Head Software where he lead a team of no more than 10 engineers to bring over 35 different product lines with over 50 different applications to market between 2009 and 2016. In 2016, Dr. Nagrath co-founded Elephant Learning with Professor Alvaro Arias from the University of Denver in order to bring transformational change to America's education system.
