Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZak Kolar is a Programmer and Material Developer with a decade of experience blending education and computer science to build practical digital learning solutions. Based in Greater Boston, he currently designs instructional tools and curricula at EDC while also serving as a Digital Learning Teacher for Waltham Public Schools, helping teachers integrate CS and digital literacy into everyday lessons. A Brandeis graduate with a double major in Education Studies and Computer Science, he built an inline trainer plugin for Moodle as his honors thesis—evidence of his knack for creating teacher-facing tools that lower the barrier to tech adoption. Zak’s background in theater production and student services gives him unusual strengths in training, technical customer service, and running complex, people-centered projects. He is as comfortable writing code and developing learning materials as he is coaching educators, and he enjoys running and reading when not shipping classroom-ready technology.
