The Curriculum
Three days that change
how you see your career
Each email is packed with actionable insights — no filler, no fluff. You'll walk away with real skills even if you never buy a thing.
Your Teaching Superpower
Discover why ex-teachers have an unfair advantage in edtech. We'll map your existing skills — lesson planning, differentiation, student empathy — to the exact skills startups are desperate to hire for.
You'll see your teaching career as a tech asset, not a career detour.
Build Your First Wireframe
Follow a step-by-step exercise to turn a classroom problem you've experienced into a simple edtech product wireframe. No coding, no software — just pen, paper, and your expertise.
You'll have a tangible prototype sketch of an edtech product you designed.
The Path Forward
A clear, honest roadmap from where you are now to technical co-founder. We'll break down the skills gap, the timeline, and the exact steps — including whether Classtack is the right fit for you.
You'll have a concrete plan for your teacher-to-tech transition.
Why This Course
Because “just learn
to code” is bad advice
Every bootcamp tells you to learn JavaScript. None of them tell you why your 5 years managing a classroom of 30 teenagers makes you more valuable than a CS grad with zero real-world experience. This course does.
Built for teachers, not developers
No jargon. No assumptions. We start from what you already know — planning, sequencing, managing complexity — and show you how it maps to tech.
Actionable, not theoretical
By Day 2, you'll have actually made something. Not read about making something. Not watched a video about making something. Made it.
Honest about the path ahead
We won't pretend this transition is easy. Day 3 gives you a realistic timeline and plan, whether that includes Classtack or not.
Is This For You?
This course is for you if…
You're a current or former teacher curious about edtech
You've thought "I could build something better than this tool"
You want to explore tech but don't know where to start
You're considering a career change but aren't sure about the leap
You have a product idea but zero technical skills (yet)
You want to stay in education — just on your own terms

is all it takes to see the path from teacher to builder
I spent 8 years thinking my teaching career was a dead end if I wanted to work in tech. Turns out, understanding how 14-year-olds actually learn is exactly what edtech companies can't hire for. I just didn't know how to bridge the gap.
