Where innovation meets collective action in edtech.
1EdTech Labs is the next chapter of a journey that began with the Empirical Educator Project. Now, within 1EdTech, it brings educators, researchers, and edtech leaders together to turn promising ideas into shared action.
Our aim is simple but ambitious: raise the floor of expectations and the ceiling of possibility for digital learning. To do that, we seek out ideas with the potential to make a tangible difference within 12 months—and convene the right people to make them real.
From AI to workplace credentials and beyond, 1EdTech Labs looks for opportunities where collaboration can accelerate change across the ecosystem.
How 1EdTech Labs Works
- 1EdTech Labs Live
- Lively, conversational webinars—free and open to all—exploring cutting-edge ideas and opportunities for change.
- 1EdTech Labs Explore
- Dedicated sessions at 1EdTech events where members and guests propose, debate, and refine ideas that deserve collective action.
- 1EdTech Labs Incubate
- When an idea is ready for impact, 1EdTech engages its Contributing Members to make it real—driving adoption across institutions, companies, and the broader public.
1EdTech Labs is not about waiting for the “big idea” to arrive from the top down. It’s about finding the sparks in our community and fanning them into flames of real, sector-wide progress.
