Playlab

Job Description

At Playlab, we believe that AI is a new design material, one that should be shaped by many. The next decade of education will be defined by who gets to design how intelligent systems are developed for and deployed in education. Most AI products cast teachers and students as end users, receiving outputs from a system that's designed for them. We're building an alternative: educators as the designers of AI systems, and of how they and their students interact with them. Your role is to help invent this in deep partnership with our community. At Playlab, designers are responsible, first, for researching, experimenting with, and implementing interaction patterns that empower educators to be makers of technology. Designers also help shape how educators learn about AI and grow their confidence to tinker with it in Playlab. Lastly, designers shape the storytelling that carries Playlab’s work into the world. At any given time, you’ll be examining (a) how might we expand and deepen what educators can create with AI? (b) how might we lower the floor for who can create and how easy it is to meaningfully deploy AI systems in real educational contexts?
