Mike Yates
Senior Designer, The Reinvention Lab at Teach for America
Mike Yates is a Senior Designer at the Reinvention Lab at Teach for America.
To put it shortly, he is figuring out where learning is going and pointing Teach for America in that direction. Right now, that looks like leading AI for the organization. He runs hackathons, designs unique and engaging workshops, and trains staff to use AI in novel ways to better their work.
He is also using AI to reimagine what it means to teach and learn. He does this by leading high-quality AI professional development for educators, designing AI prototypes, and partnering with other organizations that are looking to do the same.
Realizing a bright, innovative, and equitable future of learning is why he gets up in the morning.
