#SXSWEDU 2025, you were out of this world! 🚀 This year, we embraced the spirit of space exploration, because forging your own path—whether in education, career, or life—is a lot like venturing into the unknown, and there’s a whole universe of potential to explore! We took up space (literally and figuratively!) with three powerful panels: ⭐ “Learning from Learners’ Perspectives on Postsecondary Value” where we elevated student voices and explored the real impact of education. ⭐ “Young People Want to Change the World—Here's How We Can Help” where we discussed how we can support young changemakers as they turn their visions into a reality. ⭐ “Behind the Wheel: Youth Driving Tech & Media” where we highlighted the next generation of storytellers and innovators shaping the digital world. On the floor, our green RV, Carl, made his presence known—and we had a ton of different activities encouraging people to share a timeless piece of career advice in our Time Capsule! We also conducted 13 stellar leader interview with folks from The Obama Foundation, Stand Together Trust, Minecraft Education, and more! We brought back our annual afterparty at The White Horse, where nearly 100 attendees joined us for a two-step and enjoyed live music—and we hosted our first SXSW EDU partner dinner at the Buenos Aires Cafe! From inspiring conversations to new connections, this experience reminded us all to shoot for the stars, explore fearlessly, and embrace the unknown. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, joined our panels, or simply shared their energy with us. And to our incredible Roadtrip Nation team—you make magic happen. 💚 Thanks for having us, SXSW EDU! #RoadtripNation #FutureOfLearning
