The Story of QuizRat

 

We are a minimalist-family living in Singapore. QuizRat is our family project during the Circuit Breaker period back in Apr 2020. As it is the year of the Rat, we named it as this. It was first created for kids in primary and secondary to practice their study online. We believe frequently practicing on short quizzes will help them to strengthen what they have learnt in school, gain confidence, and not feel so much burden.


We created QuizRat for a few reasons

1. Self Motivated and independent Learners

We aim to provide a simple and friendly learning experience to encourage all kids to practise school subjects proactively and become independent learners.

As parents with school kids, we noted that regular practise helps kids do better in all subjects, and sometimes they also need to revisit the lower level topics as well. However, it is not feasible to keep buying practise books and past year test papers for all years - they are quite expensive, and usually can only be used once by one kid.

Therefore we decided to create QuizRat so more kids can prepare themselves better for their upcoming exam during the Home Based Learning period as it is harder to get tuition or practise papers. And at the same time we hope it will ease the burden of parents financially.

2. Less is More - Simple and eco-friendly family

We hope QuizRat will become a platform for both parents and kids to bond together, utilizing the “less is more” concept to lead a more fulfilling, and eco-friendly family life.

We will be soon providing fun quizzes and information related to zero-waste practise at home; fun decluttering to have a neater study environment, etc. Sometimes the environment changes the behaviour, and the behaviour changes the result.
