Every child, learning at the right level.
We advance research into the science and technology of learning to ensure that every learner, regardless of location or background, has access to personalized, high-quality education built on evidence and innovation.
Mission Snapshot
Rigorous research meets modern technology
ERI Foundry investigates how breakthroughs in cognitive science, educational psychology, instructional design, human computer interaction, and artificial intelligence can be applied to create learning systems that adapt to each student's pace, readiness, and linguistic background.
Our work bridges research and reality, translating scientific discovery into tools that function seamlessly in African contexts. From cognitive mapping to adaptive algorithm design, we aim to build technologies grounded in disciplined methodology and cultural relevance.
How We Work
Research Pillars
Our methodology integrates evidence-based approaches with field realities
Cognitive Science & Pedagogy
Investigating how learners acquire, process, and retain knowledge across diverse linguistic and cultural contexts, bridging cognitive theory with pedagogical practice to inform effective instructional design.
Adaptive Algorithm Design
Developing intelligent learning systems that dynamically adjust to each learner’s mastery level, pace, and cognitive pattern, advancing education toward truly personalized learning.
Inclusive Learning Technologies
Building robust digital learning infrastructures that operate seamlessly in low-connectivity and low-resource environments, ensuring equitable access to innovation for all learners.
Learning Analytics & Assessment
Leveraging data-driven insights to understand learner behavior, refine instructional strategies, and enhance the adaptive precision and impact of our learning systems at scale.
Impact Zone
Transforming learning experiences across West Africa
ERI Foundry is laying the groundwork for a new era of adaptive education in Africa. Our goal is to translate scientific research into systems that elevate learning outcomes, inform national education strategies, and expand equitable access to quality instruction.
- Launch pilot programs that demonstrate measurable gains in literacy and numeracy.
- Develop cognitive benchmarks aligned with national curricula across countries
- Train a new generation of educators to apply adaptive learning methods
We envision a future where evidence-based innovation reshapes classrooms, guides policy, and drives lasting educational transformation across the continent.
