Reimagining Education Through Innovation

What if transforming education isn’t about more programs or bigger budgets — but a shift in mindset?

In this episode of Moving Forward, Linda Anderson sits down with educator and innovator Kristine Tsung to explore how design thinking, creativity, and small steps can lead to powerful change in classrooms.

Kristine’s journey began as a visual learner who relied on drawing to make sense of the world. That experience shaped her approach to teaching — one rooted in access, creativity, and possibility.

With a background in architecture and design, and experience as an Ignited Fellow at Amazon Lab126, Kristine now works at the intersection of education and innovation. She is the founder of InnovatorsTogether.com, a platform helping teachers bring low-cost, high-impact STEaM learning into their classrooms.

In This Episode

• Why innovation is a mindset, not a program

• How design thinking can be used in any classroom

• What holds teachers back — and how to overcome it

• How access to innovation grew from 20% to nearly all students

• Why simple tools and imagination often matter more than expensive resources

• The importance of industry partnerships and real-world connections

“Innovation is a mindset, not a program. When we give teachers the space and tools to start small, students show up fully.”
