In this episode, Ben and Steve reflect on their experiences at the BETT conference, discussing the importance of community, creativity, and collaboration in education. They also review their guests over the last few weeks, including the episode around Ben's book, exploring the concept of schools as ideas factories rather than exam factories.

The conversation emphasises the need for spaces that foster creativity and curiosity, the infinite nature of education, and the significance of building supportive communities for educators and students alike, looking at conversations with Leisa Grace Wilson and Dan Fitzpatrick. They also touch on the challenges faced in the current educational landscape and the potential for positive change.
