About Sora
Trends 2023
Sora Trends 2023 is a team effort. Our diverse team of teachers, designers, content creators, parents and philosophers (just to name a few) is constantly scouring the latest research and projects in the education space. From our variety of perspectives, we enjoy debating and dreaming up new futures together with our students.
To compile Sora Trends, we crowdsourced trendspotting across our team of innovators. We found interesting connection points across what’s happening on the ground in our Expeditions, the latest tech products, and new findings from cognitive research. As the trends began to emerge, we knew we were on to something. To validate the trends we ran an online survey across 1,000 parents in December 2022. Finally, our network of experts shared their unique perspectives and expertise with Sora Learning Lab to elevate our own thinking.
