2. Our Mission
sleek-geek apps help all K-12 education
stakeholders leverage technology to reboot
instruction and catalyze student achievement.

3. 21st Century Schooling
Tablets are already in our schools, and are projected to
grow exponentially every year
● Tablets accounted for 35% of all device sales to schools in 2012
● Tablet shipments grew 103% year over year in 2012
That means each year millions of new devices are in need of effective and
engaging applications that provide content with new possibilities to
streamline outdated practices.

4. School Laboratory
sleek-geek is an Oakland-based startup that draws its
inspiration and tailors its products to the students we
serve. Our schools are our laboratories for our new ways of
learning.
With a combined 20 years of classroom experience, we
know what is broken and we know what works.

measured by how much instructional time we give back to the
teacher to devote to academic achievement.
More quality instructional time = higher student achievement
Our Triple Bottom Line strategy is measured by the amount of paper
our products save by moving cumbersome practices to digital and
mobile platforms.
