Sylus Green is a fierce advocate for protecting and nurturing the genius in children. More than an educator, he is a culture shifter—leading a movement to make being smart cool for minority students. As the co-founder of The 5:30 Scholars and the visionary behind Genius League, Sylus has redefined academic achievement by transforming math into an electrifying competition, inspiring students to embrace their intellectual power with confidence and pride.

Through his efforts, Sylus has helped students earn over $3 million in scholarships to some of the nation’s top colleges. He has worked alongside principals to turn schools in some of Chicago’s most challenged areas into math powerhouses, proving that with the right environment, every child can excel.

Beyond education, Sylus is a master videographer and photographer, using his creative talents to tell powerful stories. As an Adobe and Apple Certified Trainer, he has trained top organizations such as The White House, ABC News, and the U.S. Army in video and photography. He also dedicates time to training youth in the arts, equipping them with skills to pursue careers in media and creative industries. His work is not just about education—it’s about empowerment, culture, and legacy.
