Chris Hull is the founder and Chief Product Officer of Otus, a Chicago-based Edtech company that centralizes work for educators, students and their families, eliminating the chaos of multiple systems. This is episode 435 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Chris grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and attended New Trier High School, where he poured most of his energy into playing basketball and other sports. He attended Denison University, where Chris continued to play basketball and became inspired by his professors to pursue teaching. In 2007, Chris became a full-time 7th Grade Social Studies teacher. As he taught, Chris grew frustrated with fractured Edtech systems, which took his focus away from helping students learn.
In 2010, he co-wrote a grant to bring one device to every student in the Social Studies department. On leap day in February of 2012, the idea for Otus was born.
Chris was nominated in 2016 for NSBA’s ‘20 to Watch' EdTech Leader, and has been showcased in the Chicago Tribune's Blue Sky Innovation series. He has presented at a variety of summits and conferences, including edSurge in St. Louis, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, Miami, iPadpalooza, and more. In 2016 Otus was nominated for two Codie awards.
Chris Hull is a husband and a father of four. His children are 6,5, and he has 3-year old twin girls.
Today we are focused on understanding what Otus is and how it can help schools, students, and parents.

Hunter Moore - CEO & Founder of Plasma Games - Getting Kids Interested in Pursuing STEM Field Careers. This is episode 432 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Hunter is the founder and CEO of Plasma Games. His passion for science and education began in childhood and later grew when he got a taste for educational instruction in the STEM field as a TA for engineering courses while in college.
Hunter had the initial idea for Plasma Games based on his work experience at IBM, Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, and Sandia National Laboratories, where a shortage of eligible, trained technical staff was apparent across the US economy.
He has a BSME and MSME from Georgia Institute of Technology and an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Our focus today is learning about Plasma Games and getting kids interested in learning more about STEM career fields.
Thanks for listening.
