We are excited to announce that Kinems earned the Project Unicorn EdTech Tools Interoperability Certification - Tier 3 badge.

This prestigious certification, issued by Digital Promise & InnovateEDU's Project Unicorn, underscores our commitment to ensuring that our multimodal learning gaming platform supports the seamless, secure, and controlled exchange of data between educational applications.

Project Unicorn, a national initiative led by InnovateEDU, brings together a coalition of several prestigious organizations dedicated to enhancing data interoperability within K–12 education. Achieving this certification means that Kinems aligns with the rigorous data standards and models set forth by Project Unicorn, which are designed to optimize the sharing and usability of data across educational platforms.

Our journey towards earning this badge began in June 2024 when we submitted our platform for evaluation under the Project Unicorn Interoperability Rubric. This comprehensive rubric assesses multiple dimensions of interoperability, including data quality, granularity, import/export capabilities, and cost transparency.

By meeting these standards, Kinems not only prioritizes data interoperability but also validates our commitment to empowering educators with tools that enhance instruction and promote student-centered learning experiences. As the Project Unicorn team emphasizes,

"At the core of interoperability is a focus on better informing instruction and driving student-centered learning experiences. The Interoperability Certification enables school systems to know they are investing in products that prioritize interoperability."

Reflecting on this achievement, Dr. Symeon Retalis, Chief Scientific Officer and Co-Founder of Kinems, stated:

"Interoperability is the key to unlocking true collaboration and innovation in education. It ensures that diverse systems can integrate smoothly, allowing educators to focus on what matters most—teaching and learning. By achieving this certification, Kinems reinforces its dedication to providing educational technology that not only supports seamless data exchange but also empowers schools to enhance student outcomes and drive meaningful change."

This badge signifies more than just a technical achievement—it is a testament to our ongoing mission to provide inclusive, effective, and integrated learning experiences. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with schools and districts, ensuring that our platform not only meets but exceeds the expectations of modern educational technology.
