More than 200 international education leaders and 110 organizations contributed to the 40-page guide, which is available as both a dynamic web version and a downloadable PDF. The 2074 Guide is an output resource from the project’s Design Summit, which took place in Scottsdale, Arizona, from February 27-March 1, 2024. Read more about the Design Summit.
Key content from the Guide includes:
Eight scenarios of the future At the 2024 Design Summit, participants explored eight distinct futures that could potentially take place in the year 2074, applying their expertise to dissect and propose recommendations for the next 50 years. Explore the eight scenarios, complete with videos, initial findings from Design Summit attendees, and actionable recommendations.
Eight provocations to consider Because we are responsible for the future we create, the Guide includes provocations for education and technology leaders to refer to often and serve as a reminder to ask hard questions and find positive examples to move education forward.
Eight project exemplars Gain inspiration from some of the real-world projects that address the project’s 2024 Future Scenarios and Provocations, submitted by the 100 Year EdTech Project community.
The community will gather again from March 19-21, 2025, at The University of Texas at San Antonio in Texas for the second Design Summit – as announced by UTSA Vice Provost for Academic Innovation, Melissa Vito, at the publication launch event.
