The Flight Manual

A how-to guide for early-stage innovators in education 

About The Flight Manual

The Flight Manual was designed and created by our Education Innovation Fellows. After meeting with teams during our first year, the Fellows compiled frequently asked questions and created this guide to help support our community. Fellows leveraged their own experiences as innovators and compiled local resources so that this would be useful and actionable for early stage innovators in education.  Whether you are at Harvard, MIT, or somewhere else, we hope this guide helps you make progress on your idea.
