Yusuf Ahmed is a former MIT Media Lab researcher, and for education geeks like Sean, who taught kids to code, he was part of the group that invented both Scratch and LEGO Robotics. And if you're not an education geek, both of those platforms are used by millions of kids as accessible ways into computer science.
He was also part of the founding team of ALU, a pan African network of universities and bootcamps, and Yusuf is currently the VP of New Products at the Reinvention Lab at Teach for America, an accelerator where he supports the work of innovators, new school models, and startups.
