What if students had a say in designing the future of education? In this episode, we hand them the mic. High schoolers from Gary Heidt's Innovation Lab are challenging outdated school systems, questioning AI bans, and rethinking what learning should look like. They’re not waiting for the future to happen to them, they’re building it.

What’s Inside:

🎤 What is a Protopian future? (And why students care)

🤖 AI bans? Students share what schools get wrong about technology

📚 Grades vs. agency—what actually motivates learning

🚀 The moment they realized they have power over their own future

These students aren’t just talking about change. They’re making it happen.

🎧 Listen now and hear the future of education—straight from the next generation**.**
