Hi, I'm Scott.

I'm interested in interactive learning systems that invite curiosity, exploration, and reasoning.

My past work has ranged from teaching high school math to prototyping and researching edtech pedagogy at Khan Academy to developing and product managing large-scale digital curriculum (Eureka Math Squared).
