Prisms
Prisms (legally Prisms of Reality) is a San Francisco-based education-technology company building the first spatial learning platform for K-12 math and science. Students don VR headsets and walk through problems - tsunamis, viral outbreaks, exponential growth - before ever picking up a pencil. Founded in 2020 by MIT-trained educator Anurupa Ganguly, the company now reaches hundreds of thousands of students across most US states.
