Development Team

Engineering: Alexander Toutanov. Alex is a senior at Lincoln High School, Seattle. He wanted to expand his vocabulary to broaden his literary scope and for the vocabulary section of the SAT. There are some word-learning websites already, but the ones he has tried are not good enough or fun enough. So he decided to try making his own website.

Design: Eleanor Andrew. Nora, Alex's twin sister, is also a senior at Lincoln High School. She is good at psychology, achieving a score of 5 on her AP Psychology exam, and used her knowledge to contribute to the design of the learning activies. She is also artistically inclined, and advised on some of the aesthetic choices.
