Problem
Elementary students spend excessive time on screens, contributing to restlessness, anxiety, and lower engagement in school. Teachers and after-school program leaders lack easy-to-implement activities that combine physical movement with meaningful STEM learning, especially when they have limited prep time and no specialized training.
Solution
Unruly provides an active learning platform built around floor-based Splats controllers that connect wirelessly to iPads or Chromebooks. Students jump, stomp, and collaborate in screen-light games that build skills in coding, math, music, and physical education. Teachers can choose from ready-to-use activities, full STEM courses, or a growing lesson library, all designed to launch in minutes with zero prep required. The system includes pacing guides, customized coaching from a Success Manager, and plug-and-play content so any staff member—regardless of STEM background—can run engaging sessions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are K-5 teachers, district administrators, and after-school program leaders in schools—the majority of which are public and Title I-funded schools—seeking movement-based STEM activities that require minimal prep time.
