About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

There was a set of problems that I faced when organizing educational outings or workshops for my class. There was no platform that collected all guest lectures, excursion and lesson materials from third parties. This caused me and my colleagues to Google endlessly or spending lots of time creating materials ourselves. Voor de klas aims to help teachers find fitting educational programs faster.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Voor de klas is a database of educational programs that museums, non profits and businesses offer for schools. Each program can be found under meta data such as price, duration, appropriate ages and learning goals. This helps teacher find fitting educational programs that are right for their class much easier. Alternatively it provides participating organizations with access to thousands of teachers who are ready to book per month.

How has it been spreading?

Visits have almost doubled this year from 3400 unique visitors in March 2022 to 6000 in March 2023. As the platform was heavily hindered by the pandemic we only started our sales outreach this year. Our goal for the next 2-3 years is to expand to at least 100 paying organizations.
