This session is part of 2025 Crossover Day. Attendance is open to all SXSW EDU registrants as well as all SXSW registrants. As always, SXSW strongly believes in the power of mixing creative communities.

Why does it take so long for good ideas to spread in education? Many scaling approaches boil down to "let’s put it out in the world" or "if we build it, they will come." Expecting adoption and impact is often magical thinking—rarely does it work. In this workshop, we’ll explore strategies for scale and stories of what works. Through interactive games and activities, we’ll uncover what might work in your context and how to scale up without reinforcing existing inequalities. Join us to crack the code to spread good ideas!
