Hey everyone, Rowan here from myEd <http://www.myedapp.com/> (we're a Sydney based start up working in the educational technology sector helping schools make the transition to digital). We've recently teamed up with the Centre for New Public Education <http://www.cpe.org.au/> to host Australia’s first education hackathon, Eduhack, on June 20-22 in Melbourne.
EduHack is a 56 hour event across the weekend of 20th June that will bring together students and individuals from the education, business, and technology communities to share ideas, form teams and design and develop innovative solutions that tackle real education challenges. We’re extremely excited as this will be the first time in Australia that the hackathon model is applied to education to catalyze innovation. *Why am I sharing this with you?* (hopefully it's OK for me to make this post in your forum - if not, apologies in advance!) 1. We need your help to break down the barriers between digital innovation and the education sector 2. Individuals with business & technical skills like yourself are critical to the development of amazing startups at EduHack that tackle real educational challenges 3. We’d love for you to play a role in sparking innovation and change in education in Australia by using your business & technical skills to create meaningful social impact. *How can you get involved?* 1. Go to our website www.eduhack.com.au to register for EduHack. 2. We need you to spread the word about this fantastic opportunity to like-minded individuals within your meet-up group (and beyond!) you believe would be interested in taking part in this ground-breaking weekend. For more information about the event and it’s structure, please visit our website at www.eduhack.com.au Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about the event. Best regards (and looking forward to seeing you at eduHack!
