We don’t want you to rinse, wash, repeat. We want you to build and sustain.

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.

The funding is not following children. We're trying to make better options for kids, for poor kids, middle class kids. Wealthy people have this choice, they opt out of their systems easily, why shouldn't all children have that choice?

in innovators who are doing this type of transformational work, so that others can learn from it and replicate it, so that you can actually grow yourselves.

It’s thanks to organizations like the Yass Prize that our children are going to have a better tomorrow.

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 Prize is almost like Burning Man for education reform.

I don’t think I’ve been in a room as supportive as the Yass Prize Semifinalist room in Miami.

It's actually mind blowing. I really see myself as an education entrepreneur, but this expanded me.

Great education is a vital link for students to become successful citizens.

and I couldn't be more grateful for what it's done for us, and helping us serve more students and families.
