Campusknot
|
Campusknot is a participaton tool that bridges the gap between faculty and students to create an active learning environment inside the classroom. Campusknot Inc. was founded in 2015 by three Mississippi State University students to solve a fundamental problem: lack of engagement in classrooms. Present-day students have shorter attention spans andexchange information very differently. The lack of engagement and complexity of current technology has made it difficult to implement in a classroom setting. We want to change that. Campusknot enhances student-centered learning and collaboration by utilizing technology that provides a modern teaching and learning experience. | $1.1M / Venture - Series Unknown / Oct 23, 2025 | |
