The Yass Prize is almost like Burning Man for education reform.

Not only because of the capital, but because of the knowledge that comes by communing with the diverse group of people as opposed to everybody that thinks the exact same way that you might think.

going against the common core and focusing on what we know is important for kids really works, and having a network of people now that also agree was super huge.

The Yass experience has given us “permission” to do exactly that.

we have to find academic experiences that represent neuro-divergent learners, kids who want to learn about gaming, who want to do stuff online, who dropped out of school.
