Local teacher, Youngstown Business Incubator create grading software

YOUNGSTOWN

Elijah Stambaugh wasn’t a teacher for long before he realized a fundamental flaw in the education process.

“Students in some classes score very low, and others score very high,” the former Stambaugh Academy seventh- and eighth-grade math teacher said. “I was looking for tools to better analyze students’ strengths and weaknesses.”

So Stambaugh came up with an idea for a test-scoring software application to help teachers better organize and analyze their teaching tendencies.

His idea led to a meeting with Jim Cossler, the Youngstown Business Incubator’s chief executive officer, and he teamed up with Bob Adduci, founder of BizVeo (now via680), another YBI company.

The rest is history.

Now, Stambaugh’s company, The Learning Egg LLC, is getting ready for the official launch of its first product, the Lightning Grader.
