Story angle
Catch the quiet struggle before the grade drops
Most edtech celebrates scores. Mira’s story is about noticing students who go quiet — with evidence from real teacher interviews.
Teachers rarely need another dashboard. They need a calmer way to notice who’s stuck. After six interviews, a clear pattern: sticky notes and spreadsheets still carry the soft signals. PulseBoard is my Hult Summer Cohort project — a lightweight pulse + board that flags quiet students without public ranking. Looking for pilot classrooms. Happy to walk through the paper prototype.

Building PulseBoard in the Hult Summer Cohort: a 60-second student pulse that helps teachers spot quiet struggle early — not another grade leaderboard. Paper prototype done. Pilot classrooms wanted.
Quiet ≠ fine. PulseBoard helps teachers see soft signals before grades drop. Built in the Hult Summer Cohort. Paper board → digital filters next. Pilot teachers: say hi.
Partner summary
PulseBoard is an early-stage classroom tool that turns brief student check-ins into a private support board for teachers. Evidence so far: six teacher interviews and a validated paper prototype. Seeking pilot schools and instructional coaches for a spring trial.
