ChatterHigh is an award-winning, research-proven platform that gets students learning from real-world, informative websites on topics like college & career, mental health, financial literacy, and more.
TEACHERS
We believe teachers have enough to manage and they appreciate free, simple, and engaging learning resources to use in classrooms.
ChatterHigh teachers receive a curriculum-aligned resource with simple web-based features like the classroom dashboard to track, monitor and assess student participation and progress. All for free.
STUDENTS
We believe students make more mindful decisions when they are engaged, informed, and hopeful.
ChatterHigh students receive a fun, mobile, daily edu-game in the form of a quiz that allows them to research and explore thousands of webpages on topics like financial literacy, mental health, college and career exploration, school choice, and more.
PARTNERS
We believe there is a better way for career and higher education organizations to engage students by rethinking how they use their limited budgets.
ChatterHigh partners use quiz questions that lead to their current web and social media assets to engage students with unique information and offerings in their institution or organization. No paper, no printing, no shipping.
GAMIFICATION
We believe that fun and games build a better community because really, who doesn’t want fun and games?
ChatterHigh provides opportunities for teachers to network with each other in fun class-to-class ChatterHigh Challenges to determine who has the Most Informed Class. ChatterHigh provides students with learning that is fun and where points, badges and rankings are displayed on their personal dashboard. Schools can compete for cash in regional and national ChatterHigh’s \"Most Informed\" School and Student Competitions. ChatterHigh offers our partners a variety of opportunities to participate in challenges and competitions.

Developer of the SHM Controller™ - a smart touch-screen device that employs a predictive-adaptive algorithm to control boilers, pumps and hot-water tanks in buildings. Using a mesh network of IIoT wireless sensors, it generates natural gas savings of 30% on average thus reducing operating costs. Owners and managers have complete remote control over their heating and hot-water system using smartphones, tablets or laptops, and can also receive emergency alerts via text/email, at times even hours before they occur.
The SHM Controller™ is a great solution for all kinds of small and large residential and commercial apartment buildings, schools and hospitals.
In fact, it is so economical and saves so much in gas costs, that even properties with tight budgets can afford SHM Controller™ without affecting their bottom line since they'd pay for it out of the 30% average savings!
