From Teach-Ins to Teach-Outs
Teach-Outs were modeled after the Teach-Ins held at the University of Michigan in the 1960s, which addressed emerging social issues such as the civil rights movement and the war in Vietnam. Teach-Outs take that community conversation and bring it into the 21st century by leveraging the technology that connects us all.
200,000 Learners and Counting
The University of Michigan has launched more than 50 Teach-Outs since 2017, covering topics such as voting rights, global warming, cryptocurrency, practicing gratitude, and generative AI.
