Expii publishes Expii Solve, a weekly collection of math teasers designed to highlight logic and creative problem solving across middle-school to advanced high-school levels. The broader Expii platform is described as a mashup between Google Form and Tumblr that lets anyone create interactive problems and surface the best explanations via crowdsourcing. Founder Po-Shen Loh, an associate professor of mathematics and coach of the U.S. International Math Olympiad team, drives the editorial and pedagogical vision. The company emphasizes conceptual thinking over rote procedures and targets both students and teachers with sharable problem sets. Expii plans to refine the platform ahead of a pitch at SXSWedu’s Launch competition and is considering monetization through paid online tutoring tied to the free content. To date the startup has raised seed funding to support development and outreach.
