Sidekick Education
Sidekick’s SMS-based chatbot helps students foster positive learner and career identities so they opt into opportunities rather than opt out. In every message, Sidekick spots the skills, goals, and interests people see in themselves and surfaces the ones they don't. Sidekick convinces students to take action by appealing to their identity and then provides opportunities for them to use their strengths, further their goals, and engage their interests. Sidekick offers information about internships and project assignments that could be an opportunity for students to thrive.
