👋 Hi, I'm Travis Allen, CEO of ProSolve & Co-President of Human Intelligence Movement. I'm redefining education for a post-AI world. As a futurist, parent, gamer & speaker, I advocate for human-centered learning. Let's reimagine education together! #FutureOfLearning #hi4ai

Banning phones or using chatbots won't solve student behavior issues. Design thinking can. It’s not just for those with extra time—our book shows how to engage even challenging students and use phones productively. Preorder Designing Schools now to learn more. Link in bio.

Finished directing my first feature film. Here’s me with my parents, who I couldnt have done this without, after we wrapped our location. So proud of our team. A dream come true!

At #GESSDubai sharing our approach to AI Literacy with the WISE Framework so young people have the agency, skills and mindsets to make decisions with confidence and integrity. Today at 2:15pm #edtech #ai #chatgpt #ailiteracy

In 1969, two researchers gave more than one thousand kids the same test NASA uses to measure creativity. What they found was shocking. It didn’t just reveal how creativity works — it showed how we lose it.

This 20-minute exercise from Stanford could change your life. It’s called The Odyssey Plan. It reveals 3 possible futures—and forces you to confront what you really want. Here’s how it works (and why you should try it): 🧵

For too long, schools have relied on pockets of excellence, brilliant ideas trapped in silos. Now, by treating talent and technology as part of the same ecosystem, we can scale that excellence across every classroom, every team, every learner. open.substack.com/pub/designings… #ISTELive

Everyone’s talking about AI. Almost no one is talking about what it’s doing to people. So this year my predictions for 2026 aren’t about technology. They’re about people. designingschools.substack.com/p/the-2026-pre…

In 2026, "AI Ready" is the new "College Ready." Being AI ready means: You see problems and find creative ways to solve them. You use AI as a teammate to amplify your own strengths. You can explain the decisions you made and why they matter.

More and more job postings now list “AI skills” as a requirement. Can you see problems differently? Can you design a workflow where AI amplifies, not replaces your creativity? Employers need graduates who can build an AI team. Do this by using our system:  designingschools.org/services-colle…

Real AI literacy doesn’t start with a chatbot or a prompt.  It starts earlier with a much more basic question: what problem are you actually trying to solve? In 2026 we're inviting you to partner with us to graduate every student AI-ready. Learn more here: designingschools.org/services-colle…

Graduating soon and unsure what’s next? You’re not alone. The “safe path” is blurrier and entry level roles are changing fast. AI isn’t your competition, it’s a tool. The real edge isn’t being “good at AI,” but telling the story of how you used it and the impact you made.

Hot take: ChatGPT isn’t making students dumber. The assignments are. AI didn’t kill critical thinking, it exposed how little we're asking for. The best educators aren’t policing prompts; they’re redesigning work so AI is a collaborator, not a shortcut. It’s not about less work.

For 12+ years, we trained students to wait, then act shocked when they struggle to decide without AI. AI didn’t create the problem. It exposed it. Low agency makes tools feel dangerous. High agency makes them collaborators. You can’t regulate an agency gap. You build it.

My latest podcast episode explores why design thinking is becoming the leadership skill of the AI era and how to start designing your response instead of reacting to change. Click the link below to tune in today: designingschools.org/podcast/

Every teacher asks: “How do I know if this is AI?” Stop detecting. Start making thinking visible. When students show how they arrived at an answer—not just what it is—AI stops being a shortcut. Design for process, not product.
