Our Mission

Unearth the Unexpected Einsteins of Tomorrow

ShepherdXR Inc. a 501(c)(3) nonprofit

• By 8th grade, 92% of students with learning differences are not proficient in math

• Lower math scores predict lower HS & college graduation, earnings & mobility, and health literacy

• Some students thrive with pen & paper. But many receive math best through visuals, hearing, hands-on, and through 1-on-1 interventions

• Our program, MathStar, is an 8-hour plug-and-play  virtual reality (VR) intervention that moves students from stuck-in-arithmetic to algebra-confident. Deployed in classrooms, after-school programs, and at home

• We focus on middle graders with diverse learning styles & Individualized Education Programs (IEP)

• Evidence-based: After just 3 sessions with MathStar, students’ median math scores jumped 45%

• Goal: 55,000 more learners at or above grade level, and all saying: “Math is for me”
