EdTech Track
A two-day competitive hackathon where teams build working AI-powered EdTech MVPs across corporate, public and higher, and general education tracks.
Overview
From EdTech problem to working AI-enabled MVP.
Participants form teams, choose one EdTech track, build a working demo, disclose their AI tools and external assets, and present a practical solution for real education users.
How it works
Designed around build time, mandatory checkpoints, and final demos.
Day 1 covers check-in, team registration, track selection, idea lock, MVP planning, and build sprint checkpoints. Day 2 focuses on demo readiness, final submission by 14:00, parallel presentations, judging, and awards.
How it works
Registration, checkpoints, and final materials all run through this platform.
Every participant should be individually registered before the hackathon. After teams form, the team lead registers the team once and uses the dashboard for Checkpoints 1, 2, 3, and final submission. Final submission unlocks only after all 3 checkpoints are passed.
Tracks
Each team selects exactly one track and submits one project. Track choice locks at Checkpoint 1 unless organizers approve a change.
AI solutions for companies, HR teams, L&D teams, onboarding, internal training, compliance learning, and workplace knowledge.
AI tools for universities, public education institutions, faculty, administrators, students, researchers, and learner services.
AI-powered tools for schools, private learning centers, parents, teachers, young learners, and independent learners.
Schedule
