Redshift Education is a gamification platform of content for teaching foreign languages (for now, specifically Spanish) in K-12 schools. High school students enter an immersive, collaborative world together online, and they have to speak in Spanish with each other to achieve real-world goals. Students get an engaging way to practice conversation with personalized feedback on their speaking, while teachers and administrators get rich data about student performance.
