About Testtoob.com
TestToob.com welcomes partnerships with foundations, school systems, and providers of educational products and services. The learning site for science enthusiasts launched in October 2007. The founder and CEO Lopa Mehrotra videotaped her young daughter experimenting with the properties of rocks in the driveway of their home, and the idea for Testtoob.com was born.
