hs.credit is a platform for educators to design and publish project-based learning credits for high school students. Students create academic videos and audio content to earn credits, while educators get paid to evaluate their work. The platform aims to offer diverse and relevant topics not typically taught in schools, including finance, social media, and internships.
From Standardized Tests to Student-Created Media
