Another winner, Michael Bergman, was inspired by the emerging social media market. This impetus gave him the idea to convert his educational board game, ‘Numbskull,’ into a Facebook application. This will make studying for the SAT test fun and competitive for savvy high school students who use the application on Facebook. And it’s moving right along.

“We’ve made significant process with market research nationwide, modernization of the interface, and content creation,” Bergman says. “We’ve also had talked to potential partners and sponsors.”
Like many creative ideas, ‘Numbskull’ may provide the foundation for a number of spin-offs and departures.

“I’d like to expand and create a wide range of educational products that offer competitive educational experiences in a fun, social media format for all ages of students, running from Jr. High to Grad school,” Bergman says”
