About us
Our Mission
Our aim is to bring about lasting change in education. We believe education should be interactive, interpretive, engaging and unique for each child. Through the creation of powerful learning games, each student will grow and develop at their own speed, and on their own path. We believe that you don’t have to sacrifice learning content to make something fun!
Our Story
In 2012, B. David Skaggs (SumBlox - Inventor) volunteered as a tutor at the Saigling Elementary School in Plano, Texas. Dave was finding it difficult to keep a student, Elijah, engaged in learning Math.
The problem wasn't Elijah's lack of attention or effort. Many learning techniques were simply not designed well enough to hold a child's attention for more than 10 minutes. They also didn't make the concepts any easier to understand, but often just rephrased paper exercises, and required endless repetition.
While planning a lesson for Elijah, David came up with the original concept of using wooden math blocks.
In January of 2013, David began cutting SumBlox prototypes out of wood in his 
father's garage in Utah. He returned to Texas in March and went back to Saigling Elementary School with a few sets of SumBlox. Of course, Elijah was the first student to use them.
After a year of hard work, SumBlox was launched on Kickstarter, and in October of 2014 endorsed by Keith Devlin and an article in Forbe’s magazine by Jordan Shapiro. From then SumBlox has grown as a family business, to something that is now sold around the World.
