Innovation should happen with educators, not to them.
The AI and Education Studio accelerates responsible and purposeful adoption of artificial intelligence in education by translating research into practical solutions, guiding ethical implementation, and advancing tools and policies that improve teaching, learning, and organizational decision making.
Our strategic goals
Seven commitments shape everything the Studio takes on, from a single co-design session to a multi-year research partnership.
Problem identification and use case design
We work with educators and leaders to design tools, apps, and workflows that solve real problems of practice, in real time, in ways that matter locally.
Research and impact
We build on and share actionable research on AI's impact in education settings, addressing equity, learner outcomes, teaching practices, and organizational sustainability.
Responsible AI
We create and share frameworks and tools that safeguard learners' rights, promote accessibility, and ensure AI use reflects cultural and contextual needs.
Innovation and co-design
We connect developers with educators and learners to prototype and refine AI solutions grounded in authentic instructional and operational challenges.
Policy and governance
We contribute expertise to standards, guidance, and operational models that enable transparent, safe, and human-centered decision making.
Evaluation and improvement
We establish feedback, evaluation, and accountability mechanisms so AI solutions remain effective, equitable, and responsive to evolving needs.
Professional learning
We provide professional learning, advisory support, and open resources that increase knowledge, confidence, and readiness for responsible AI adoption.
This is about transformation, not tools.
The idea of the Studio began with a group of educators, leaders, funders, and policymakers meeting regularly to explore the opportunity that AI presents to education.
From the very beginning, we agreed: this isn't about tools or add-ons to existing systems. It's about reimagining what learning can look like when educators, leaders, and students work side by side as co-creators of change.
We know the power of co-design. We know the importance of field-based insights and diverse perspectives. And we understand how to connect those voices, teachers, learners, and communities, to the developers, funders, and decision makers shaping the future of technology in education.
We are committed to a world where every educator and learner has a voice in how AI shapes teaching and learning, and where that voice leads to equitable, human-centered innovation.

Co-design lab
Our co-design lab, the Educators AI, brings together master facilitators, students, families, technology professionals, educators, activists, advocates, and policymakers to identify problems of practice and act on them. It is our flagship program, delivering feedback loops to funders, policymakers, and community leaders so that educator and student voice informs what gets funded and supported. AI is one smart tool. We believe educators are smarter.
ParticipateResearch
The research we are engaged in is both short term and long term. We partner with edtech companies to identify the impact of their tools and improve their implementation planning. We work with funders to evaluate projects. We support nonprofits, ministries, states, districts, and charter organizations in using AI responsibly and in service of their core mission.
Get in touchResources
Our team interacts with organizations, educators, leaders, and students from over 50 countries. There are lessons in those conversations, and we bring together what we learn from co-design sessions, research, and continual engagement with the field as no-cost guidance in our learning library.
Open the libraryLearning library
Guides, rubrics, frameworks, reports, and how-tos from our work with the field. New assets are added as our sessions and research produce them.
Have something the field should see? Send it our way and we will consider it for the library.
The AI and Education newsletter
Weekly updates on the global outlook for AI and education. Each week we add to an archive that is continually evaluated for themes and indicators of whether we are headed in the right or the wrong direction. With a readership of more than 36,000, we aim to provide just in time, relevant, and useful information to those supporting AI in education around the world.

When we say co-design we mean co-design. The lightbulbs go off when we work alongside educators to identify problems, develop solutions, test ideas, and talk it through.
We are just getting started.
The Studio is led by a team of educators, researchers, and practitioners who have served classrooms, districts, universities, funders, and government at every level. We lead with purpose, hold open discussions, facilitate solutions, and support teams with empathy, energy, and the knowledge to execute for impact.
We know we have a long way to go, and the opportunity to contribute to this work is seemingly endless. We are always looking for passionate, knowledgeable, and collaborative professionals to join us. If you are interested in future positions or would like to share your resume, drop us a line.
