“We want students to thrive throughout their whole life, and we want them to have the educational experiences that lead to that thriving,” said Professor Susanna Loeb in the opening panel of the 2024 Accelerate Edtech Impact summit at Stanford. “We want that for all students. We don’t just want that for students from well resourced families, and we don’t just want that for students who are motivated and engaged in school right now … we really have to think about the broad range of students.”
The learner experience was at the center of the second annual summit, hosted by the Stanford Accelerator for Learning. Before Loeb took the stage, the summit kicked off with four student speakers, ranging from a middle schooler to a doctoral student, reflecting on how artificial intelligence has influenced their learning. And earlier, eight Stanford students showcased edtech projects of their own creation.
