What are
we working on?

The Reinvention Lab does early stage R&D at the intersection of the future of learning and TFA's assets and mission.

Current Work

AI

Through experiential learning experiences and virtual courses, our AI work is built on the philosophy that AI Dexterity and Fluency (the confidence and ability to build and develop with AI) is as, if not more, important than AI Literacy (basic understandings of AI). All of the offerings we are developing at different altitudes sit at the intersection of AI Dexterity and reinvention.

FutureShock

Our summer learning experience engages students in project-based experiences that combine game-based learning, emerging AI technology, and high quality facilitation to support students in connecting their existing interests to possible career pathways. Over ten days, students participate in experiences that help them reflect on their skills and interests. They use this work to get going on a meaningful project tied to a potential career interest.

Crossing the Canyon

In Spring 2023, The Reinvention Lab at Teach For America conduct ethnographic research with over 50 young people and adults about life after high school. What emerged was a complex (and we’ll just say it: somewhat hard and surprising) set of findings about the gap between high school graduation and adulthood. The big headline: young folks find life after high school confusing, risky, and under-supported, like a dangerous canyon crossing. Learn more and read the full report here.
