Standardized mathematics testing is used heavily in schools to grade students, determine entry into schools and allocate resources. As the importance of the tests increase, parents invest in test preparation and tutors to give their children an advantage. Exam Elf takes the key exam taking skills that are learned in expensive test preparation classes and teaches them in a fun, mobile app.
Doing well at exams is not just a matter of knowing the content; it is also knowing how to do an exam. The aim of Exam Elf is to close the gap between students who are sent for expensive exam coaching and the rest of the students.

AquaticQuest is designed to support the learning experience when students visit an Aquarium. AquaticQuest brings knowledge to the fingertips of users and allows them to learn about the animals that they are seeing. Users can collect badges and win prizes to be redeemed onsite.
Users also learn about conservation challenges and can create pledges to get involved to do their part. AquaticQuest also allows users to generate postcards from the aquarium as well.
If you would like to include your Aquarium as one that supports AquaticQuest, please contact ZumFun at feedback@zumfun.com. We will load up your animals and provide you with the badges to put at your exhibits to support AquaticQuest.
To add new animals to the AquaticQuest database, send your suggestions to feedback@zumfun.com and we will add them in.
Enjoy the wonders of our blue planet.
There are more visits by Americans to zoos and aquariums than to the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB combined! Around 175 million visits per year. This is a great opportunity to teach visitors about the animals, their biology and their stories.
However, in many zoos, the educational experience is linear and one way. The zoo-keepers spend time educating the students in classroom style settings, however, they have limited resources and cannot be everywhere.
ZumFun has developed the interactive treasure-hunt game which maximizes learning opportunities at the zoo and allows the visitor to enhance their visit by controlling their content and providing the "silicon-valley" learning experience to visitors through their smartphones.
With ZooQuest, zoos are able to deliver all their content to visitors when they want it and supercharges the experience for the visitors.
