The Academics' Choice Advisory Board consists of leading thinkers and graduates from Princeton, Harvard, George Washington University, and other reputable educational institutions. Product-appropriate volunteer reviewers, combined with the brainpower of the Board, determine the coveted winners. Entries are judged by category (i.e. mobile app, toy, book, website, magazine, etc.), subject area, and grade level, and evaluated based on standardized criteria rooted in constructivist learning theory.

The thorough, multi-faceted review process really gives people a chance to explore Geometiles as a tool for sparking both creativity and analytical thinking. Seeing the Board truly enjoy and value the importance of high-quality educational toys, such as Geometiles, gives a great sense of fulfillment." - Yana Mohanty, PhD, CEO of Imathgination and inventor of Geometiles

Many of the products that are evaluated by the Academics' Choice Awards team are donated to a variety of worthy charities including the Kids In Need Foundation and the Toys for Tots Foundation.
