Projects of interest
Lumiaire Labs
The Digital Divide is set to grow into a substantial AI Use Chasm very soon. On one end are those using frontier models, discovering uses and gains, and potentially opening Pandora’s boxes. Those at the other end are cautious, anxious, and rebellious, refusing to use AI at all. There are many in the middle using AI in ad hoc ways, generating AI slop, and potentially creating outcomes and consequences they did not intend. My work is to help close this gap by supporting those in the middle to improve what they can accomplish with AI. And by helping the wary ones get a realistic view of AI capabilities and limitations.

Managing online exams during the pandemic
Running a train with thousands on board while also building the tracks in front of it is a unique challenge. Online exams during the pandemic were a bit like that. Exhilarating, nerve-wracking, but deeply satisfying when things worked as intended.
Designing the *Evolve* Program
*Evolve* is a program for kids, tweens and teens. It helps participants navigate complexity, think for themselves, and learn to listen, observe and question, among other things. Designing and running this program is one the of the most enjoyable and impactful things I have ever done.
Teaching Theory of Knowledge (TOK)
TOK is a unique program in the IB Diploma program that pushes teens to think about “how do we know what we know”. It involves thinking about how we construct knowledge, how that varies across subjects, and examining one’s biases. As enriching to teach as it is to learn! About TOK >>
