Keyrus partnered with the Challenger Center, a leading education nonprofit, to transform how they measure the profound impact of their STEM programs. The Challenger Center develops and delivers deeply immersive educational experiences designed to bring complex STEM subjects to life and inspire students to pursue related careers. The Challenger Center operates through 35 Challenger Learning Centers and delivers digital programs in classrooms. While they effectively collected data to create baseline metrics on their reach and impact, they recognized the need for a deeper level of analysis to continuously improve their offerings. The goal was to fully explore and analyze the data gathered from their centers and classrooms to enhance the quality of their educational programs
Challenger Center is originally founded by the families of the Challenger mission in an effort to promote educational interest in STEM. They develop interactive virtual programs ('missions') and space mission simulations to encourage teamwork and collaboration while learning for teams of 'learners'.
The Keyrus Solution: End-to-End Analytics on AWS
Keyrus built a comprehensive, end-to-end analytic solution to address this challenge.
Measuring Success: The solution was designed to better measure key metrics like learner engagement, reach, and impact across the organization, allowing the Challenger Center to figure out how to improve its existing programs.
Simplified Management: Built on AWS, the solution provides a "single pane of glass" for the Challenger Center to self-manage the application, knowing that all metrics and data are internal to AWS, leading to less personnel overhead.
Scalability for Growth: Keyrus took great care to ensure the infrastructure was designed to allow the Challenger Center to grow into it. This design ensures that as more data points are developed from their educational programs, that data can be brought in seamlessly.
Profound and Continuous Impact
The new analytical framework allows the Challenger Center to continuously improve the educational programs delivered to students, providing a somewhat real-time perspective on how well their programs are functioning
