What is DigiEduHack?
DigiEduHack is a global initiative powered by the European Commission that invites people to imagine and shape the future of education through digital innovation. It brings together students, educators, entrepreneurs, researchers, and tech experts from around the world to tackle real challenges in education—together.
At the heart of the initiative are the DigiEduHack Days: local and online hackathons happening across the globe, where participants work in teams to design practical, digital solutions that can make education more inclusive, engaging, and effective in only 24 hours*. Whether the focus is hybrid learning, accessibility, or new ways to teach and learn, DigiEduHack gives people the tools and space to make a difference. Participants can learn before and after the initiative via several available learning opportunities like webinars and podcasts.
*DigiEduHack hosts can organise hackathons as a non-stop 24-hour event or divide them in separate sessions, like 3 sessions of 8h, for example.
