Our Work

Designing the Future of Learning

From digital fabrication to building STEM schools, we empower education leaders to realize new ways of learning that prepare students for the future. Using the engineering design process, TIES customizes a blueprint for the future of learning within school settings, learning pathways and the greater community.

"Education is a social process; education is growth; education is not preparation for life but is life itself."

– John Dewey, American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer

STEM Education

TIES has worked with school districts in nearly every state in the country to design meaningful and connected STEM pathways and experiences. Bringing in community partners, TIES has helped ensure that STEM experiences and curriculum are connected to local economic needs of today and those predicted for tomorrow.

Leveraging AI

In collaboration with leaders in the field, TIES is at the forefront of shaping the future of education through artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. We bring together diverse stakeholders - from educators and policymakers to industry leaders and innovators - to explore how AI is fundamentally changing the landscape of learning.
