Classroom hours and production code — in one person.
I've spent about fifteen years across classrooms, nonprofits, and global EdTech work. I'm still in a building, still in the weeds — currently teaching AP Environmental Science and serving as Academic Technology Director. The tools on the build wall are examples of apps I've actually built and shipped this year.
Most "AI for education" is built around what's easy for a vendor to sell. Second Bell Studio is built around what's useful to the people in the room — the teacher with a recurring headache, the student who already has the idea but doesn't yet know how to ship it.
That's the whole reason this exists: to close the gap between "wouldn't it be cool if" and "okay, but who builds it" — by helping you become the person who builds it.
