Jelte de Jongh – Oprichter van LeerUniek LeerUniek oprichter Jelte de Jongh vertelt hoe hij tijdens zijn studie op MIT (Boston) leerde om het abstracte begrip ‘Big Data’ te vertalen in een heel praktische technologie die basisscholen helpt bij taalontwikkeling van leerlingen. Zijn doel? Gepersonaliseerd leren inzetten om taalachterstanden te helpen voorkomen, waar nog steeds 1 op de 8 Nederlandse 12-jarigen de dupe van is.
