B.J. Pinchbeck's Homework Helper

B.J. Pinchbeck's Homework Helper is a website created by BJ Pinchbeck a 21 year old senior at Drexel University who started working on this site since he was 9 years old together with his dad. The website focuses on more than 800 fantastic educational links for students (and parents) to use to help with their homework.

According to the U.S. Kids Magazine "This site is the best homework helper ever." -- Besides, it’s just inspiring what he has accomplished at such young age. Kids on the digital age are just getting closer to the world and to think what was once unreachable is not any more.
