A Nesta Insight event exploring how we can build a successful testbed for the English education system.

We looked at examples from around the world in the hopes of answering the question: how we can build a successful testbed for the English education system?

Technology has the potential to completely transform and revolutionise aspects of our education system. Despite this tremendous potential, Education Technology often lacks the necessary evidence to make effective products a reality and schools often struggle to know what works in the classroom.

EdTech testbeds are a brilliant way of connecting schools and industry innovators to test products in real-world settings. That’s why Nesta and the Department for Education are working together to develop and pilot an EdTech testbed programme in England.

Nesta’s Director of Education, Joysy John will also be speaking at EdTechX Europe on AI’s future role in education, on 18th June.
