Otto Zhen (GC-NWI ‘22)

Otto Zhen is a 4th‑year CPS high school math educator and TFA alum who has been creating education technology since high school, from a language‑learning mobile app to a collaborative virtual whiteboard tool he later refined during his studies at Stanford. In addition to teaching, he leads AI professional development for other teacher and is also building Echieve, an edtech venture creating automation tools that help math teachers streamline their preparation and focus more on students and teaching.


This event is part of our Teacher Learning Labs series

Alumni-Led. Practice-Focused. Community-Centered.

Teach For America alumni and corps members are invited to a new Teacher Learning Lab Series—monthly, in-person evening gatherings created for the TFA educator community.

Each lab is led by experienced TFA alumni educators who are seeing strong results in their classrooms and schools. These sessions are designed to be hands-on and collaborative, with practical strategies, honest conversation, and space to learn with and from one another.
