Julian has been involved in developing No Major Drama, a tool for helping US high school students choose which subjects to study at college.
No Major Drama is powered by the decision-making algorithm of 1000Minds. It enables the user to identify their strengths and interests, and work through a set of scenarios specific to them. The system comes up witha ranked list of college subjects which suit their preferences.
The product has been launched in the US, and the number of high schools using it is steadily growing. Graduate Factory, the company behind No Major Drama has recently partnered with Ohio University, joining their Innovation Center.
