Learning Futures Hackathon for
ambitious minds
This is for all of us – students, professionals, career changers, educators, designers, researchers – and anyone interested in the future of learning.
You can join as a team of 3–5 people or apply individually, in which case teams will be formed before the event. Your educational background or career stage does not matter, but a basic understanding of data, AI or service development is an advantage.
The best ideas often emerge through collaboration across different fields. Whether your perspective comes from technology, design, pedagogy, business or society, we look forward to seeing your ideas take shape during the hackathon.
