How DigiEduHack works
Participating teams will identify key challenges in digital education and co-create solutions across disciplines and organisations. After each local hackathon, the hosts will choose a local winner who will represent them in the next stage of the competition.
At the end, 4 winners will be selected by public online vote among 12 finalists. They will receive the DigiEduHack Global Awards and support to implement their solutions.
