Ed Buckley, Ph.D., a seasoned entrepreneur with a passion for innovative solutions, and Marlee Strawn, a dedicated educator with nearly two decades of experience, are the dynamic duo behind Scholar Education. Their journey began with a shared vision: to revolutionize education by combining cutting-edge technology with the compassion and insight of experienced educators.   But their inspiration didn’t just come from the classroom—it came from Ed’s furry family members, Bruce and Baxter. These lovable companions are more than just pets; they’re the real-life inspiration behind PAWfessor Bruce and BaxterBot. Just as Bruce and Baxter bring joy and loyalty to their home, PAWfessor Bruce and BaxterBot are designed to bring intelligence and support to classrooms, making teaching and learning more personalized, engaging, and effective.  

Together, Ed and Marlee have fused their expertise and passion with the warmth and wisdom embodied by Bruce and Baxter, creating tools that truly make Scholar Education 
“Your Classroom’s Best Friend”.
