typescript software engineering cloud firestore teamwork computer science react.js (javascript library) psychologyKind Screen is looking for motivated computer science students to help us build the Content Management System (CMS) that we’ll use to manage the exercises that will be uploaded into our educational mobile app. This is a critical component of our app because it facilitates the continuous creation and revision of content. The main users of the CMS platform will be educators or psychologists who write the content, they are the writers. The secondary user of the CMS will be an approver (admin) of the content that is submitted.
The team working on this project (CMS) will report to Kind Screen’s CTO and CEO. Our CTO has over 15 years of experience leading software engineering teams. Our CEO also has over 15 years of experience in business, media, and education.
We would be excited to work with a team of students and also contribute to their learning experience!
To maintain consistency between the current developments inside Kind Screen, the students will be limited to the following technology stack:
- React framework, ideally with Typescript, for the web UI.
- Node.js + Express for the backend.
- Google Cloud
- Firebase Firestore
About the company
Kind Screen is an EdTech startup that was founded after being awarded the Education Entrepreneurship Fellowship from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. We help adults (mainly parents) bond with children and work together on social-emotional skills needed for a happy and fulfilled life, we make this fun by leveraging children’s existing interests. In short, we want to make social-emotional learning scalable, fun, and accessible to families around the world!
We are building a Duolingo-like gamified mobile app that parents (or any adult at home) can use to connect with kids and teach them Social-Emotional skills (i.e. Perseverance, Kindness, Self Control, etc). Kind Screen has guided conversations and practical exercises based on dilemmas and situations seen in kids media stories (movies, series, comics, etc).
