Think education isn’t working? If you are fed up with the current systems and want the opportunity to make a change now’s your chance.

Startup Weekend is a 54-hour event designed to bring passionate people together to solve real problems. You’ll connect with amazing individuals, learn new skills, discover new ways of working, and develop capability and resilience through an action-packed weekend. Beginning with Friday night pitches and continuing through brainstorming, business plan development, customer validation and basic prototype creation, Startup Weekends culminate in Sunday night presentations.

Startup Weekend Education will connect diverse groups of people to help us develop insights into the many different needs, fears and aspirations for education.
