Seattle, WA.- TiViTz, a math and strategy game for students, has been named the 2017 Microsoft U.S. Public Sector Education Mobility Partner of the Year. The company was chosen from more than 100 organizations across the public sector divisions for demonstrating excellence in innovation and implementation of education technology.
Siobhan Mullen, CEO of SAS Games, Inc., the parent company of TiViTz said, “We are honored to be recognized by Microsoft as their Education Mobility Partner of the Year. By working together, we have been able to implement gamification programs that dramatically improved math competency in classrooms. We look forward to what this incredibly rewarding partnership will bring to STEM education in the future.”
