Josh Feinsilber was just an average high schooler who decided to put $100 into a business idea, which is now a multi-million-dollar business that many high schoolers (like me) have come to love- Gim Kit. Gim Kit is a learning app that is used to help students better engage with learning through fun games that can be played during class. What is unique about Josh and this business is that he wasn’t getting much out of the classroom environment, which is not something that I’d expect from a person who develops a learning app, because I’d expect them to come from an educational background. What drives Josh is to make it easier and more enjoyable for students around the world to be educated, and his idea of a learning app is very interesting, because often fun and school are not associated with each other. What inspires me about him is that he took a situation that was not enjoyable, boring classrooms, and got an idea to make it more fun. It also inspires me that he was just a 16-year-old when he started his company. I think that we can all learn from Josh that we should try to innovate in places that we do not usually like to deal with.

I love that he took something very common and perhaps sometimes boring–school–and made it entertaining. If people are already on their phones, why not take advantage of that and help them learn something while they are in school.
