WHAT YOU’LL DO
As adrienne maree brown says, "longing moves towards longing." We're seeking an innovative educator and product designer to create learning experiences that people truly long for. Not because we care about "scale" for scale's sake, but because we believe deeply that engaging, modern education shouldn't be limited to those with the luxury to pay for it or the luck to come across it. Through Teach For America's network, you'll have the opportunity to impact many young people who have been overlooked by traditional education systems.
Our "products" aren't typically software—they're learning experiences like FutureShock or our AI Hackathons.
