The Zap Story
In 2018, the leadership teams from cutting edge tech company Life Ninja Education and gamified learning experts HW Trading Group (innovators behind Multiply Music) came together to explore a potential partnership and combine ideas –
They looked at how the power of Life Ninja Education’s platform could be used to bring the highly successful Multiply Music learning methods of rhythm, music, movement and games to all students through mobile apps.
Over the course of 2019 the teams worked closely together to reimagine how students could engage meaningfully with maths through technology, and after a thorough process of creation, development, and testing, Zap Maths was born! The idea of bringing the energy and intensity from Multiply Music maths classes to any student anywhere in the world had come true.
Zap Learning Ltd is a collaboration between Life Ninja Education Ltd and Multiply Music, a division of HW Trading Group Ltd. The Life Ninja Education platform uses cutting edge technology to meet the digital content and engagement needs of primary schools and students. HW Trading Group are an innovative education company combining music and mathematics in an exciting and engaging way with a proven track record of success with parents and schools.
