THE OPPORTUNITY
Empowering Schools with TKS’s Innovative Learning Platform
Imagine a world where every student has the tools to connect, innovate, and share their projects in an environment designed to foster growth in cutting-edge technologies. TKS, known for its forward-thinking approach to student development, faced a new challenge. Their internal platform, which had been a cornerstone for students to meet, explore emerging tech topics, and showcase their work, was ripe for expansion.
TKS saw an opportunity not just to enhance their platform but to transform it into a product that could be licensed to other educational institutions across Canada. The vision was clear: schools could adopt this platform under their own brand, offering their students the same innovative environment that TKS students enjoyed. However, the existing platform was not equipped to support this vision—it needed a complete overhaul, from its architecture to its user experience.
This is where we came in.

THE SOLUTION
Rebuilding and Modernizing for a Multi-Tenant Future
TKS partnered with us to reimagine their platform from the ground up. Our mission was to rebuild the platform, enabling it to serve multiple schools under different brands while enhancing its overall functionality and user experience.
Multi-Tenancy Architecture: We implemented a multi-tenant architecture to enable schools to have their own customized versions of the platform, making it possible for TKS to offer a whitelabel solution and open new revenue streams.
Modernized Design: The user interface was overhauled for a more intuitive and engaging experience, making it easier and more enjoyable for students and administrators alike.
Redesigned Portfolio and Posting Experience: We transformed the rigid template-based portfolio into a dynamic, freeform environment where students can mix posts and projects, similar to LinkedIn but tailored for a younger audience.
THE IMPACT
A Foundation for Educational Transformation
TKS is positioned to expand its influence across Canada, offering schools a powerful tool to enhance student engagement and innovation. The platform’s new multi-tenant architecture not only supports this expansion but also sets a precedent for how educational technology can be scaled and customized.
1. New Revenue Stream: By licensing the platform, TKS can monetise its technological investment, creating a sustainable model that supports further innovation and development within the organization.
2. Enhanced Student Experience: The redesigned user experience and flexible portfolio options provide students with a more engaging and personalised way to document and share their learning. This modern approach is expected to foster deeper connections among students and encourage them to explore new ideas and technologies.
3. A Foundation for Future Growth: The new platform architecture and design enhancements position TKS to continue evolving their offerings, ensuring that they remain at the forefront of educational innovation. As the platform rolls out to schools across Canada, TKS is poised to not only impact more students but also influence how educational institutions approach technology and learning.
