Our Collective

MeshEd is a collective of educators, students, content specialists, and non-profit changemakers.

Many of us work in schools full time. Some of us are students with demanding course loads and rich extracurricular lives. A few of us run our own businesses. Together, we’re committed to equipping students with the best resources for developing and sharing their creative work.
