Thomas Thompson is the co-founder and CEO of Eduaide.Ai, an instructional design platform that uses generative AI to make the best tools of learning accessible to every teacher and student. His work focuses on bridging the gap between evidence and practice, translating cognitive science and educational research into practical classroom materials that teachers can adapt and use immediately. A former middle school Social Studies teacher and nonprofit director, Thomas brings experience from both the classroom and the broader public sphere. He holds a Master of Science in Educational Technology from Johns Hopkins University, where his research examined trends and gaps in Open Educational Resource production and evaluation. Across roles, his work centers on a single question: how can we design tools that reflect how people actually think, learn, and develop over time, and turn that design understanding into better everyday instruction?
