Pressto’s primary focus is engaging with schools as a supplemental tool that fits any curriculum, and can be implemented across any subject area. The platform is currently part of a pilot program with the New York Department of Education reaching over 30,000 students throughout the city and also extends beyond the classroom so that parents and children can utilize it on their own.
