Location

The Hackathon Hack For Education is a Mexico - Spain challenge (The challenge is focused on these countries where participants must develop a project and propose a solution to a problem that is presented to them. This year the challenge will be within the framework of the education sector.

The process is divided in THREE MOMENTS:

  • Discovery: studying the topic and understanding the challenge.
  • Ideation and Prototyping: discussion and prototyping of the solution. During this phase, which will be the longest, they will also have access to training through mentors.
  • Presentation: recording of a video presentation of the prototype, with a maximum of 2 minutes.

Participantes

Participation is free and open to the general public. We are looking for three profiles to create multidisciplinary teams;

  1. Technological profile
  1. Business Profile
  2. Education profile

The event will have 51 participants organised in 17 teams of 3 persons.

Challenges

The challenges to be worked on are around Education, the challenges that Hack For Education will propose are the following;

  1. Inclusive education: 
  2. Classroom technology
  3. Customised education

Participants will receive different kinds of news and information before the event so that they can research about these challenges, we don't want to close them too much in order not to put limits to creativity and innovation. The first day will be focused on them finding their own motivation.

However, if a participant has a challenge on another education-related topic that they want to solve, no problem, they will have to discuss it with their team and validate it with one of our facilitators to make sure it follows the values of Hack For Education.

Sponsors

To ensure the success of the event we will rely on two main actors;

  1. Universities → Will provide participants
  2. Companies in the EDTECH sector → Will provide prizes
