A Conversation with Cramsters Robert Angarita and Aaron Hawkey

Is there anything more frustrating than working on your homework late at night, you get stuck on a problem and there is no one you can get a hold of for assistance? This is where Cramster, a site to help you with your homework, comes into play. If your homework is in the fields such as math, science, engineering and so on, this is the perfect site for when you get stuck in those late night cram sessions. You go on the site, pose your question, and instead of just getting an answer, users are encouraged to explain the steps they took to arrive at their answer so that you can actually learn from them. Some of the problems I took a peek at, even with explanations, made me scratch my head, but the people who needed the answers seemed thrilled. The company currently enjoys being the top educational app on Facebook in addition to their popular website, and as time goes on, they will be adding more of their functionality into the app to make it even more usable. As for the future plans for the original site, you can expect to see the addition of more professors answering questions, and a whole slew of new practice questions both licensed from text book publishers, as well as created by users. I had the chance to speak with both Robert Angarita and Aaron Hawkey about the site, and the future plans for it.
