Gov. Stitt task force launching AI program to teach Oklahoma students math

OKLAHOMA CITY (OBV) — Gov. Kevin Stitt’s Human Potential for Future Industries Task Force is planning to launch an AI-powered math program that teaches young students math by using interactive, immersive and engaging teaching techniques.

Secretary of Education Nellie Sanders, who chairs the Human Potential for Future Industries Task Force, announced the new pilot program during the task force’s second meeting.

The math program is called Synthesis Tutor, and is described by officials from Stitt’s office as “revolutionary.”

“Every student needs to be prepared to leave school college-ready or career-ready. That isn’t happening for too many Oklahoma students,” Stitt said. “We want kids to develop their God-given talents and apply them in high-demand industries right here in Oklahoma. I’m grateful to Secretary Sanders and her task force for doing their part to ensure students go from classrooms today to careers tomorrow.”

Synthesis Tutor co-founders Josh Dahn and Chrisman Frank presented insights on their innovative education models to the task force. They also joined Sanders in announcing the pilot program.

The pilot program will be delivered to participating third grade classrooms in March. The program will be rolled out to participating districts statewide in the fall at no cost for the 2025-26 school year.

“Our current education system isn’t built for the future—it’s barely built for the present,” Sanders said. “Oklahoma’s students are full of untapped potential, and it’s our job to ensure they have the right opportunities to thrive. This task force is focused on breaking away from outdated, one-size-fits-all education models and create real-world pathways that prepare students for their future. Oklahoma will proudly become the first state to put Synthesis’ priceless, one-of-a-kind piece of technology in our classrooms— and I couldn’t be more excited for our teachers, students, and parents. I’m grateful to Josh and Chrisman for their partnership.”

The website Play. Learn. Thrive. reviewed Synthesis Tutor, praising the program’s ability to adapt to each student’s grade level and challenge them as they grow.

“Whether your child is struggling with basic arithmetic or excelling in problem-solving, Synthesis meets them where they are. It’s a great option for kids with math skills in the 5-11 year developmental range,” the review states. “Unlike many other programs, Synthesis goes beyond memorizing facts by focusing on critical thinking and real-world problem-solving. It encourages independent practice, which helps kids build skills while having fun.”

Dahn’s professional history includes starting an experimental school with Elon Musk at SpaceX.

The task force also received insights into the evolving workforce landscape, Oklahoma’s recent NAEP scores and its implications for workforce preparedness from Jennifer McGrail, executive director of OCAST.

The task force identified the following priority actions:

  • Strengthening workforce-aligned education by integrating industry-driven skills into curricula.
  • Expanding hands-on learning through apprenticeships, internships, and immersive learning experiences.
  • Leveraging artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and other emerging technologies to create immersive classroom experiences.
  • Assessing teacher preparation programs to ensure Oklahoma educators are equipped to meeting evolving student needs.

The task force will present its first round of education reform policy recommendations to Stitt, legislative leaders and education agencies in the coming months.
