Cohort 6
We're proud to announce the sixth cohort of the LEANLAB K12 Fellowship. New this year, we've expanded to 10 ventures and 9 school systems, with some of the best ventures the education entrepreneurship world has to offer. The educators at our pilot schools lead the process--they chose the ten teams represented in our cohort this year.
We're excited for these ventures to get into schools and start the co-design process. They'll be directly impacting the lives of students in real classrooms this Fall. We're humbled and grateful in anticipation of all the hard work these ventures and
educators will be doing together.
