What builders are saying

“We literally 10x’d our customers and made a functional product.

The personalized feedback and coaching was extremely helpful in navigating new process of making a product zero to one.”

Xiangan
FELLOW · 2026

“I joined the fellowship to see how AI can change education. Through this fellowship, I became a builder and worked on something unique for learners. I never expected that to happen. I was able to grow in a lot of practical skills and pilot new projects with my learners.”

Barbara
FELLOW · 2026

“The first sprint pushed me to finish my first end-to-end AI project, even though I came in with limited coding knowledge. I learned way more than I expected and felt motivated the entire time. Super grateful for the community and structure.”

Mutinda
FELLOW · 2025

“The fellowship reframed how I think about edtech, not only the technology, but connecting with learners and instructors and getting a product into the world. The best part was being around other like-minded people.”

Lilian
FELLOW · 2026

“I felt the experience was great because I actually got to build something. I love having the demos to crystallize the work.”
