Teachers are leaving.
Their insight shouldn't.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of teachers leave the classroom. They carry something no CS graduate has: deep understanding of how students actually learn.

Meanwhile, schools are scrambling to adopt AI tutoring tools — but the builders don't understand education, and the educators don't know how to build.

Slate bridges that gap. We turn teachers into the edtech builders schools are desperate to hire.

How it works

Three steps from classroom to career change.

Step 01

Learn

8 weeks of hands-on training in web development, React, and AI APIs — designed for complete beginners with zero coding experience.

Step 02

Build

Create a real, portfolio-ready AI tutoring product. Not a toy project — a working tool informed by your actual classroom experience.

Step 03

Earn

Get matched with K-12 schools and districts who need edtech builders with real classroom insight. Typical rates: $50–$100/hr.

What you'll
learn

A practical curriculum built for educators, not CS students. Every lesson connects to real edtech products you'll build.

React & Modern UI

Build dynamic, component-driven interfaces — the same tech used by Khan Academy and Duolingo.

Wk 5–6

AI APIs & LLM Integration

Connect to GPT, Claude, and other AI models. Build smart tutoring features that adapt to students.

Wk 7

Building Tutoring Tools

Design and develop AI-powered tutoring products. Practice planners, quiz generators, feedback engines.

Wk 8

Edtech Product Design

Learn what makes great educational software — accessibility, engagement, and learning outcomes.

Built for educators

You don't need a CS degree. You need classroom experience and the drive to build something better.

Ex-Teachers

You left the classroom but still care deeply about education. Channel that passion into building tools that help students learn.

Career Changers

Coming from education administration, instructional design, or curriculum development. Your perspective is your superpower.

Why we built Slate

“After 8 years teaching 5th grade, I wanted to build the tools I wished I had. Slate is the bootcamp I would have wanted.”

Common questions

None at all. We start from zero and build up. Your classroom experience is far more valuable than knowing how to code — that part we teach you.

Plan for 10–15 hours per week. Most sessions are evenings and weekends to work around your schedule. Everything is recorded if you miss a live session.

K-12 schools and districts hiring for edtech product development, AI tutoring tool customization, curriculum-aligned software builds, and educational content systems. Rates typically range from $50–$100/hour.

Yes — for Cohort 1 only. This is our early-bird launch price. Future cohorts will be priced at $997. Lock in the lower rate by joining now.

Absolutely. Many of our students are current teachers exploring a transition. The bootcamp is designed to fit around a teaching schedule.

A portfolio-ready edtech product you built yourself, practical skills in React and AI APIs, and direct introductions to schools looking for edtech builders. Plus lifetime access to our community and materials.
