Why I Choose to Work at Academic Innocation

I was drawn to the Academic Innovation (AI) team and mission. The people who work at AI are committed to extending educational opportunities and innovating to increase accessibility and improve educational experiences. I am particularly interested in leveraging technology for community engagement in education design, and within the context of outdoor and environmental education.
