Cocoa Classroom Makes Personalized, Standards-Aligned Learning Accessible to All Families—No Teaching Degree Required
Nationwide — Michael Roebuck and his wife, Regina Snape-Roebuck, an African American couple from Las Vegas, Nevada, have launched Cocoa Classroom, a Black-owned AI-powered homeschooling platform. It helps parents create engaging, customized lessons with just a few clicks.
Built by homeschooling parents and founder Michael Roebuck, Cocoa Classroom transforms lesson planning, scheduling, and curriculum tracking into an easy, intuitive process—no teaching certification required.
“I created Cocoa Classroom because I knew firsthand what it felt like to be unseen in the classroom,” said the Roebucks. “Growing up, I was often the only Black child in school—fighting for belonging, overlooked for my achievements, and mislabeled as a problem. When my daughter was born, I vowed her story would be different. I wanted her to grow up knowing her brilliance, her beauty, and her boundless potential. Cocoa Classroom is the platform I built to make that possible—not just for my family, but for families everywhere.”

A Couple’s Journey Becomes a Family Solution
The Roebuck’s path to building Cocoa Classroom began when his daughter was preparing to enter kindergarten. Concerned she would face the same isolation he once did, he turned to homeschooling. What started with makeshift workbooks in the basement became a mission: to design a platform that honored his daughter’s identity, curiosity, and learning style.
From coding his first educational apps to navigating the shutdown of Utah’s virtual academy during the pandemic, to being laid off from his engineering job in 2022, the Roebucks turned obstacles into fuel. The turning point came with the arrival of AI: “When I discovered ChatGPT, I realized I could finally keep up with my daughter’s pace,” he said. “I wasn’t just building software anymore—I was building freedom, legacy, and a new model for education.”
Today, Cocoa Classroom reflects that vision: homeschooling tools built from lived experience, designed to empower parents, and rooted in the belief that education should affirm every child’s worth.
