Founder

Mike Kentz is an award-winning educator with over 14 years of experience across journalism and teaching. He is a TEDx Speaker and his work in AI in Education has been featured in EdSurge, Edutopia, The Wall Street Journal, Canadian National Radio, and more.

His workshops have been formulated as a product of direct classroom experience in 2023-24, when he developed a ground-breaking approach to teaching with AI in the classroom that has since been accepted for presentation at multiple national and regional education conferences.

Since then, he has launched Zainetek Educational Advisors, a professional development services firm that also offers curriculum design and consulting around AI in Education. He primarily serves independent K-12 schools and various Higher Education institutions looking to adapt to AI.

He is a graduate of Georgetown University (B.A. American Studies), Relay Graduate School of Education (M.A.T.), and Wilkes University (M.A. Creative Writing).
