Enuma is a mission-driven company that empowers all learners, including those with special needs, to be independent learners. The team is dedicated to developing the highest quality learning applications to reach all children, whether through consumer purchases or strategic partnerships to support universal access. What distinguishes Enuma’s products is its unique approach to design, which combines universal design for learning principles, best practices in commercial game design, and educational research. Enuma’s flagship product, Todo Math, has ranked #1 in the App Store in 20+ countries and is used in 6,000+ classrooms in the US. Recently, Todo English was launched in Korea. Complementing its Todo Series, Enuma also develops products to support universal access and learning for all children, regardless of family background, location or learning needs. Enuma’s Kitkit School co-won the Global Learning XPRIZE in 2019, demonstrating the software’s ability to support independent learning for children in low-resourced areas. Over the past year, Kitkit School was used by children in East Africa, South Asia, and Korea, and was named a 2020 winner of the United Nations’ STI Forum Call for Innovations that advance the SDGs. With recent Series-B round financing and grant funded projects, Enuma is poised to grow and broaden its impact: both in the quality of products it creates, and its reach to diverse learners globally.
