The FUSE Podcast ·

2026/09/08

Ask a room full of ninth graders to guess how many jelly beans are in a jar, and something interesting happens. Most of them do not care about jelly beans. They care about being right. The moment they write a number down, they are locked in, and they will not walk away without finding out how close they got.That is the whole idea behind Engaging Brains with Prediction, the FUSE cognitive science practice Ryan Smith and facilitator Amalia deGuzman unpacked in this week’s FUSE Live.

A Quick ask before we get into it: FUSE is working to bring this research to SXSW EDU next March with a proposed session, “Disengagement Isn’t About Attention, It’s About Status,” chosen by public vote. If this conversation is useful to you, a vote would mean a lot. Every teenager walks into a new classroom running the same quiet calculation: Who’s in here? Is this safe? What kind of adult is this?

2026/03/15

Oftentimes, we hesitate to share our personal change goals. As teachers, parents, and leaders of any kind, it takes great courage to admit we don’t have all the answers.
