The Team Excel app uses a “reverse fantasy” sports model where instead of pro athletes earning points for things such touchdowns and tackles, student teams earn points and compete based on metrics such as academics, attendance, community service hours, and other success metrics. By gamifying student success metrics, Team Excel leverages the power of teamwork and competition to increase motivation and improve outcomes.
