WAYS TO WORK WITH US
We meet your educators and leaders exactly where they are.
CoBuild Days
A hands-on AI hackathon. In a half or full day, your team designs a solution to a real challenge, low tech or high tech, then pitches what they made. Powerful as a spark on its own, or a launchpad for what comes next: ongoing PD, or turning the best idea into a real, usable tool, built with your team or for you.
Best for: teams ready to stop talking about AI and start creating.
Custom Professional Development
Not every goal fits a template. We build tailored programming around your priorities: foundations courses, workshops, coaching, self-paced learning, and multi-month journeys that mix and match. You bring the goal, we design the path.
Best for: organizations with a specific priority and a timeline to match.
Not sure where to start? Tell us your goals and we'll suggest the right fit. Book a call →
Professional Learning Communities
Co-created cohorts that build confidence over time, at your pace and in your context. From personal exploration to leading community-wide implementation. Facilitated by education experts, with resource curation and community management handled for you.
Best for: districts, schools, and associations rolling out an initiative or building capacity on a priority topic.

CoBuild Days
Your staff, your challenge, real solutions built to be used the next day
CoBuild is a hands-on AI hackathon for schools, districts, and education communities. Live or virtual and welcome to all experience levels, in either a low tech or high tech environment.
Before
We shape the goal with your leadership and get your team prepped. New to AI? Add a foundations course so everyone starts on solid ground.
The day
A structured, high-energy build. Teams design a solution to a real challenge, from a sketch to a working prototype, then pitch what they made.
After
Go deeper with ongoing PD and courses, or turn the best idea into a real, usable tool, built with your team or for you, and guided into practice.

Custom Professional Development
We co-create tailored professional learning that meet YOUR teachers and school leaders exactly where they are, on YOUR timeline, addressing YOUR specific priorities.
We are not a single-method provider. We bring together a network of expert facilitators, AI specialists, and instructional partners, then match the right people to your goals.
CoLab adds what most PD lacks: the infrastructure to make it stick, and a strategic layer that keeps everything aligned to your priorities from the first session to lasting practice.
