About Mark Schreiber

Mark Schreiber teaching in innovation lab

25 Years Building
Thinking Environments

Mark Schreiber has spent 25 years helping people see what's possible and then build it. He designed 8,000 sq/ft of innovation suites at American School in Japan. Created Intel's Future Skills curriculum and watched it scale to 500+ sites worldwide. Won a Milken Award, and launched countless innovation programs along the way.

Today he teaches at Colorado State University, where students use design thinking and AI to go from idea to working prototype in a single class. Not by learning to code from scratch, but by learning to think like architects... scoping the problem, directing the tools, and judging whether the output is actually good. The AI Integration Snapshot tool on this site? One person, AI tools, 4 hours. That's the capability your students can develop.

Mark doesn't talk about innovation. He builds it.
And he's ready to help your students do the same.

The Journey

Mark started in a wood shop in 2001 with scissors, cardboard, and a belief that students learn best when they build real things. That belief hasn't changed. The tools have.

Over two decades, he has guided schools through every major technology wave in education: from laser cutters and CNC machines, to 3D printers and robotics, to the current AI revolution. Each time, the schools that succeeded didn't just buy the equipment. They built the thinking environment first.
