  • Veeko Creates Streaming After-School Platform to Combat Lack of Education Resources in the United States

    Veeko Creates Streaming After-School Platform to Combat Lack of Education Resources in the United States

    Press Release


    Dec 15, 2021

    The United States is facing a crisis in the area of afterschool education. Recent polling suggests that over 90% of parents believe that afterschool programs are essential for their child’s education, but for most parents, high-quality afterschool programs are out of reach. According to a recent study, more than 24.6 million children in the U.S. are unable to join after-school programs. 

    Understanding the problem

    Among the reasons listed by parents for not sending their children to afterschool programs, these highlight the difficulty that parents face when trying to give their kids a quality education:

    Cost: A majority of parents cited cost of afterschool programs as being largest barrier that stood between them and enrolling their child in a program. With some courses coming in at $3,600 per year, the cost is impossible to manage.

    Availability: More than 42% of parents reported that afterschool programs were not available in their community, indicating that nearly half the children in this country are unable to attend afterschool programs because there aren’t enough of them. 

    Transportation: Parents said transportation played a role in their inability to send their kids to afterschool programs. With some parents working two jobs, there isn’t time to get their kids out of the house. For other families in larger cities, parents worry about safe transport because they don’t have access to a car.

    Quality: Another factor stopping parents from putting their children into afterschool programs is quality. Most afterschool programs are more daycare than education, with kids only playing around instead of learning something that’s truly beneficial. 

    Becoming the Solution

    Veeko was created by passionate professionals and teachers to ensure that every child in America can access genuine, high-quality, afterschool education regardless of geography or financial status.

    To make this possible, we created an innovative new app and hired the best teachers in the field to design fun, creative lessons to keep kids engaged and on the path to success.

    Afterschool classes include: Math Tricks, Guitar, Piano, Ukulele, Fine Arts, Painting, Drawing, Storytelling, Magic, Yoga, Kung Fu, Spanish, Chinese, & Singing

    We want every child to benefit from these amazing courses, so we’re offering it for just $99! You’ll get a year of access to all 15 courses, and a shared family login so that everyone will be free to explore all kinds of lessons and discover their real interests!

    We also created a series of arts-based masterclasses with the finest instructors in the nation. For just $198 you can select two masterclass courses and enjoy 15 afterschool courses!

    Masterclasses include: Piano, Violin, Ballet, Guitar, Singing, Music Theory, Oboe, Clarinet, Viola, Double Bass, & More

    Professor Marc LaBella will discuss his experiences teaching science lab courses online with Hands-On Labs’ cloud-based learning solution

    Press Release



    updated: Jun 25, 2018

    Hands-On Labs, the leading provider of online science learning, will host an upcoming webinar entitled “Teach Science Lab Courses Online: A Real-World Case Study of Ocean County College,” featuring Professor Marc LaBella as guest presenter. The webinar will be presented on Tuesday, June 26, 2018, at 10 a.m. PST and again on Wednesday, June 27, 2018, at 11 a.m. PST. Registration can be completed on the Hands-On Labs website.

    Professor LaBella, a longtime member of Hands-On Labs’ advisory board, will discuss best practices acquired and results achieved throughout his decade of real-world experience with Hands-On Labs’ (HOL) online science learning platform HOLcloud.

    I’m looking forward to presenting the various tools and functions included in HOLcloud. We’ll look at how well the cloud platform works with HOL’s lab-grade student science kits. We’ll also discuss some of the positive results we’ve seen at OCC regarding improved student performance and decreased instructor workload.

    Professor LaBella has taught at the college level for 34 years in the capacity of both a professor and an administrator and is now an eLearning Lecturer II as well as a full-time tenured associate professor at Ocean County College. He has graduate training in biology, educational psychology and statistics, and has taught courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels (face-to-face and online). His biological specialty is microbial ecology, specifically genetically modified bacteria that break down toxic substances (biodegradation). He has taught both in classrooms and online in General Biology I, General Biology II, Anatomy and Physiology I & II, Pathophysiology (undergraduate and graduate level), Statistics & Experimental Design (undergraduate and graduate level) and Ecology.
