Building the Future of Education

Our mission is to bring learning science into the tools used every day by teachers and students. That is why we’re bringing together educators, researchers, and developers to build open, research-driven technology that reflects the realities of classrooms and strengthens teaching and learning. By combining technical expertise with real classroom insights, we’re supporting resources that are rigorous, connected, and designed to accelerate progress across the field.

A Decade of Impact

Over the past decade, we’ve made grants to advance research on learning and human development. We’ve also built products and tech platforms for and with teachers — grounded in research that guides how kids learn best — to translate those insights into classroom practice. Through our unique approach, which combines grantmaking with technology building and, most recently, building AI infrastructure, we are helping accelerate the development of edtech products for the public good that are more accurate, aligned with state academic standards, and backed by learning science.
