HackerRank, a platform that helps developers match the right job, announced that it has acquired Mimir, the cloud-based platform for computer science courses.
Mimir delivers an innovative way for professors and teaching assistants to educate computer science students and assess their progress. Leading universities like Michigan State University, Illinois Institute of Technology and Finger Lakes Community College use Mimir’s services to efficiently scale their computer science programs.
HackerRank and Mimir were both founded on the belief that skills matter more than a degree, and share the mission to increase the number of skilled developers in the world.
Vivek Ravisankar, co-founder and CEO of HackerRank said, “Acquiring Mimir allows us to reach developers far earlier in their education while supporting their professors, ensuring they receive the training they need to be successful in their careers.”
Prahasith Veluvolu, co-founder and CEO of Mimir said, “Mimir has made a name for itself by becoming a secret weapon for computer science programs – Mimir equips them with the tools to make a real difference in the education of developers.”
Joshua Nahum, Teaching Specialist, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, said, “Mimir has saved our department thousands of grading hours, enabled real-time feedback to students on their assignments, and allowed our instructors to write more creative and engaging assignments.”
