This document discusses pushing boundaries in education. It introduces Ultralab, an educational research institute dedicated to working at the "bleeding edge" of technology in education. Several projects aimed at pushing boundaries on issues like equity, inclusion, and learner agency are mentioned. The document argues that traditional models of schooling focused on compliance and conformity must change. It suggests envisioning education that truly prepares students for the future in inclusive, equitable ways focused on discovery and learning rather than fear of failure. Educators are empowered to transform education by nurturing their own growth and believing in students' potential.
