Our team

The people behind
every kid.

CHIP is a team of educators, mentors and builders. These are the people who teach your kid, and the people who make sure everything works.

Erika Zafra

Co-founder of CHIP. She leads Movement and designs its curriculum and class videos: Mat, Ballet, Yoga and Mindfulness.

The founders sometimes walk the campus and talk with kids in the open rounds, the way a principal walks the halls.

Academic direction

One person keeps
the path coherent.

Lucas Gregori

Leads the curriculum: which missions open and when, how Chippers are trained, and the review of each week's reports before they reach families.

The Chippers

Mentors, not lecturers.

A Chipper is a human mentor. They ask, point and encourage. The hands on the keyboard are always the kid's.

What they do

Circulate between help zones, translate one mission for a 7-year-old and a 13-year-old, and note what they see.

What they never do

Do the work for the kid. A Chipper cannot sign off a step on their own: an adult at CHIP signs, with a written note.

What they note

Eight leadership marks: helped someone, led the table, presented, caught a mistake, finished, did not give up, asked a good question, proposed an idea.

How they prepare

They follow the CHIP Chipper Guide, walk through each mission before it opens, rehearse the 75-minute clock and practice in a room with six fake kids.

Every Chipper is admitted after a process with our psychology team.We do not publish certifications or credentials for Chippers, because none exist yet.

Live Chippers, every day.

Chippers are CHIP's human mentors. They are in the campus every afternoon and evening, Eastern Time (ET), and an adult Chipper is always present whenever kids talk.

Psychology team

Nobody comes in
without this step.

Our psychology team runs the admission of every kid and every Chipper before they study or work at CHIP.

Engineering

The team that
builds the platform.

The people who built the platform our in-person studio uses every day, the online campus and AI Chipper.

And a help that is not a person

AI Chipper is an AI tutor. It says it is an AI, asks before it answers and gives clues, never the answer.
