In this episode of the Smarter Campus Podcast, host Zach Kinzler is joined by Austin Levinson, an award-winning international educator with over two decades of teaching experience and a deep commitment to rethinking how we teach critical thinking in the age of AI.
From dissecting a Gulf War headline to launching programs that merge design thinking, ethics, and artificial intelligence, Austin’s approach to education is all about creating “learners who wonder.”
This conversation explores how educators can maintain the human fingerprint in a world increasingly shaped by technology—and why AI literacy isn’t optional anymore.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why “Unexpected Resistance” became the foundation of Austin’s teaching philosophy
- How to teach students to analyze, not just consume, information
- The “fingerprint” method — using AI as a thought partner, not a replacement
- How to prepare students (and teachers) for an AI-enhanced world
- Why failure, questioning, and curiosity matter more than ever
Austin’s work reminds us that education isn’t about creating workers—it’s about developing thinkers who are ready to question, adapt, and create meaning in an AI-driven future.
