What’s Happening Today: Tuesday, March 4
Day two of SXSW EDU 2025 is here, and there’s so much more to explore! Keep the momentum going with another full day of insightful discussions, engaging sessions, and opportunities to connect with leaders in education.
Launch into the morning with The Space Gal Emily Calandrelli in the Keynote Screening Bias: Breaking Down Barriers for Women in STEM on TV as she dives into the inefficiencies that exist in science television for adults and for children. The Keynote will begin at 10:00am in Ballroom D of the Austin Convention Center or watch it live.
Later, don’t miss the Launch Startup Competition, presented by Walton Family Foundation as seven finalists present their innovative products and services at 11:30am in the Expo at the Next Stage in the Austin Convention Center.
