Callido learning vs Mate.bike

Improving student outcomes through the explicit measurement and development of critical thinking, research and writing skills.

Callido is improving student outcomes by enabling any school to develop critical thinkers with plug-and-play resources for explicitly tracking and developing students' critical thinking, problem-solving, research and communication skills.

All educators agree that the purpose of education is to develop students into critical thinkers. However, translating this into action is difficult due to the lack of a roadmap for skills, constrained teacher time and legacy reporting systems which do not show progress on skills.

Callido makes this easy by providing:

(i) a roadmap for critical thinking, problem-solving, research and communication skills at each grade (ii) digital assessments to understand each student's starting point (iii) blended learning resources for the targeted development of each skill (iv) data dashboards to track students' growth year on year

Our solutions save schools over 400 hours, and are 10x cheaper than the next best alternative - replicating all of these resources and expertise in-house. Since inception, we have partnered with leading schools in over 18 countries.

MATE. The coolest and most affordable eBike EVER

Danish start-up elevates the world of eBikes by introducing MATE - an electric, smart, foldable and affordable bike

Say hello to the bike of the future.

The 16th of august marks the official launch of the crowdfunding campaign for MATE; the world’s most affordable foldable electricbike.

Introducing MATE: the ultimate in cycling versatility

MATE has a refreshingly sharp design for a foldable eBike and comes available in four different colour options (army green, matte black, metallic red or shiny white). An easy 3 step fold system makes MATE very versatile and mobile. This improved versatility is not only a great way to reduce the chance of theft, but also makes it easy to take with you on public transport or pack it in the trunk of your car for longer journeys.

Powered by either a 250W or 350W motor, MATE can reach a top speed of up to 20mph and gets up to 55 miles on a single charge. A 6 speed computer gives you details and stats about your ride, as well as a handy USB charging functionality for your smart-phone or GPS. For when you feel like using pedal power instead, the 7 speed Shimano gears give you even more versatility.

With front and rear suspension, front and rear disc brakes and all terrain tires, MATE offers a smooth ride, even on rougher surfaces. But the feature that the MATE team is most excited about is the price.

The duo behind the start-up has a vision: to make cycling more accessible to the world, Christian and Julie and they are committed to building a high quality, affordable eBike.

The 16th August marks the launch of their 30 day crowdfunding campaign and the MATE team are offering a massive 70% off MSRP to all campaign backers. With prices of between $599 – $749 USD available for a limited time only, represents a great deal for those looking for an eBike.
