Creating Educational Innovations

Almost everyone's education journey has moments that prompt the question: why isn't this better? This course moves from critique to creation, drawing on the economics of innovation to examine how new ideas spread and what it takes to innovate in education. Along the way, the course tackles questions like: Do innovations like AI and EdTech help or harm? Why don't teacher incentives translate into student learning? Is education better as a public or private enterprise? But the heart of the course is an entrepreneurial journey—standing on the shoulders of giants to develop a scalable and sustainable solution, supported by interactive role-play exercises and conversations with guest innovators.
