Liive is a 21st Century education technology that has developed the Culturally
Responsive Pedagogy needed to meet the instructional demands for today’s
classrooms. Today’s youth needs to see themselves in their education to aspire
to perform in school. We’ve created a patented platform that integrates song

At TimeLooper, we are transforming the learning process from one that is
inherently passive to active. We bring the classroom to life by
empowering teachers to deliver highly interactive and historically and
scientifically accurate content that will serve to inspire, emote, and
inform students.
