InnovateK12 is a hackathon focused on developing new ideas and technologies to improve K-12 education. Over the course of a weekend, participants will work in teams to create innovative solutions that aim to enhance teaching, learning, and school operations.
The event brings together students, educators, developers, designers, and others passionate about edtech. Participants can expect to engage in hands-on activities, attend workshops led by experts, and hear from guest speakers in the education field. A variety of resources like data sets, APIs, and developer tools will be provided.
Teams will have 48 hours to conceptualize, design, and build a prototype or minimum viable product related to K-12 education. Project ideas could include new learning apps, classroom management tools, platforms for interactive lessons, and more.
In addition to coding and building, the hackathon emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration. Educators can share insights into classroom needs, while technologists contribute their skills in programming, UI/UX design, and more. By working together, teams can create well-rounded education solutions.
At the end of the weekend, teams will showcase their projects to a panel of judges. Prizes will be awarded to the top innovations with the greatest potential impact on K-12 education.
