Testimonials

“I have known, worked, and collaborated with Margaret from her early days at the Center for Children and Technology to her most recent leadership at the Scratch Foundation. Her brilliance and tenacity are evident across her impressive career. Over the years, Margaret has skillfully supported my own journey—from transforming a high school in Brooklyn, NY, to our collective, systemic focus on emerging technology and the critical skills required for lifelong student success. She is a rare, forward-thinking leader who doesn't just navigate the future of education and technology, but actively shapes it.”

“Intelligent. Empathic. Courageous. Wise. On all things big and small. First at New Visions for Public Schools, and then as Director at the Gates Foundation, Margaret remains one of my first calls when I'm stumped about technology, education or public policy. And I always leave with a new thought or strategy in my quiver. In a world of social and technological change, I continue calling and collaborating with her. Not about the status quo, but about the future.”
