We are looking for Certification-ready Creatives and Developers!

February 18th, 2026

JOIN OUR TEAM!
We are currently developing three exciting new courses and are looking for subject-matter experts to join us.

  1. Adobe After Effects – Curriculum Consultant
    We’re looking for a curriculum expert who can support us to design and develop high-quality support resources aligned to certification objectives. This role focuses on creating lesson plans, worksheets, projects, assessments, and other instructional materials that elevate the learning experience.
  2. Unity Programmer – On-Camera Presenter
    Are you a confident Unity expert who enjoys teaching? We’re looking for someone to be the face of our Unity course—explaining concepts clearly, demonstrating workflows, and guiding learners step by step on camera.
  3. Adobe Firefly – SME & Scriptwriter
    We need a true Adobe Firefly expert who can design the course outline and write complete, studio-ready scripts that will be recorded by a presenter. This includes creating clear, structured lesson scripts with precise narration, on-screen actions, and instructional flow, as well as developing supporting instructional materials aligned to the course objectives.

We are actively hiring for all three roles. If you’re passionate about teaching, certification pathways, and creating high-quality learning experiences, we’d love to hear from you.

Please fill out this form. Make sure you add a note to which role you’re applying for, and we’ll be in touch. 

Free PD on Gen AI Foundation — Confidence, Safety, and Smart Workflows

February 10th, 2026

Join us for a FREE professional development session for teachers 

The AI Foundation — Confidence, Safety, and Smart Workflows (Session 1) is a live, online PD created to give you clarity on what AI is, why it matters for your district, and the “safety-first” mindset required to lead your students.

 

📅 February 19, 2026 (session 1)
⏰ 5:00–6:30 PM (EST)
💻 Live on Zoom
🎓 Lead trainer: Wren Hoffman

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic idea — it’s already part of our schools. This practical session is designed to move past the headlines and help you understand what AI really is and how to use it responsibly in your teaching.

We’ll focus on using AI as a tool to support teachers — not replace them.

In this session, you’ll explore what large language models are in plain language, how to spot inaccurate or biased AI responses before they reach students, and how to think through the ethical side of using AI for both student work and lesson planning. You’ll also take part in a short, interactive activity where we look at live AI examples and share questions, concerns, and ideas in a safe, collaborative space.

We’d love to have you join us and start building your AI literacy with other educators!

InDesign 2025 – Important Course Updates

January 27th, 2026

BrainBuffet made it a priority to deliver new 2025 courses in alignment with the recently launched 2025 Adobe exams, and, as with any new exam release, updates are expected as early classroom data and feedback become available. As part of our ongoing support for the InDesign 2025 certification, we are releasing a targeted study guide, a new set of quizzes, and a link to Digital Flash Cards to help review content before the Exam.  This is an important additional step to complete with your students if you intend to take the Adobe InDesign 2025 exam between Jan-Feb 2026 and have guided them through our InDesign 2025 course. In parallel, our team is actively working on several enhancements to the InDesign 2025 course itself to further strengthen coverage and hands-on practice in specific areas, with course updates planned for release within the next three months.
