Janine Teo, CEO of Solve Education, returns to BRAVE after three years to explore how AI is reshaping education for marginalized youth. She and Jeremy Au unpack the double-edged nature of AI in learning, how Solve Education leverages gamification and AI coaching to drive motivation, and the shifting job market where entry-level roles are disappearing. They discuss how AI is widening access for underserved learners, challenging traditional career aspirations, and demanding new approaches to teaching foundational skills. Janine also shares how her team’s GAIN model: Gamification, AI, Incentives, and Network, tackles agency gaps and builds community-led learning environments for impact at scale. 02:29 AI made education more personal and accessible: Students can now learn at their own pace using AI tutors like Solve Education’s “Ad,” especially in low-resource environments where human teachers are scarce. 04:50 Students use AI to uplift their families: Many youth ask AI for advice not just for school but to help their parents, reversing traditional education roles in marginalized households. 07:42 AI reshapes career aspirations and challenges family expectations: With AI exposure, students begin to dream beyond their parents' limited career suggestions and request help from the AI to explain their goals back home. 10:29 Teaching must prioritize thinking over memorization: In the AI era, knowing how to analyze, ask questions, and apply knowledge is more important than storing facts or formulas. 13:07 Motivation is the biggest learning barrier: Solve Education focuses on building a learner agency through their GAIN framework, especially for youth surrounded by demotivating environments. 15:43 Junior jobs are being replaced by automation: With AI doing most low-level tasks, junior analysts and entry-level roles are disappearing, forcing fresh grads to upskill or pivot early. 18:08 Learning environments shape success: Solve Education combines online tools with local community leaders to create peer-driven, supportive ecosystems that keep learners engaged and progressing.
