About MadeInK12.com

Celebrating the builders, makers, and problem-solvers in K-12 education.

The Mission

Every day, educators, technology specialists, and administrators in K-12 schools build software to solve real problems. They create tools that streamline attendance, help students with accessibility needs, automate tedious paperwork, and make classrooms more engaging.

Most of this work goes unnoticed — tucked away in a single school or district. MadeInK12.com exists to change that.

This is a showcase — a place to spotlight the incredible software being built inside K-12, by the people who know schools best. We believe these projects deserve recognition, and other schools deserve to know they exist.

Who Can Submit?

Anyone who works in or with K-12 education and has built a software tool, app, automation, or digital resource that helps schools run better. Teachers, coaches, IT staff, administrators, curriculum designers — if you built it and it serves K-12, we want to see it.

Projects are reviewed before being added to the showcase. We're looking for tools that are genuinely useful, thoughtfully built, and reflect the creativity happening in K-12.

How It Works

1. Submit — Use the submission form to tell us about your project.

2. Review — We'll take a look, and we may reach out with questions or suggestions.

3. Showcase — Approved projects get a featured card on the homepage, complete with your bio, project description, and a link so others can find it.
