Do you want to be part of tech-solutions for and national challenges in the educational area?
Do you have a problem in education that could be solved with the support of technology?
The Edtech Hackathon is an event to develop tech solutions to local and global challenges in education. The online phase is the moment where everyone can submit an idea of challenge here. After the first EdTech Hackthon in 2022 this years hackathon, will take place on the 25-27th of May at the Goethe Institut in São Paulo. It will be two three days for participants to develop solutions supported by mentors and workshops, pizza and german food and beer.
Challenges related to education and technology can be submitted online and by everyone, some will be selected by jury and will be worked on by hackthon participants over two days. The solutions proposed during the Hackthon will be sent to the authors and published here.
The participants from various regions of Brazil will be selected by the organizing committee. We will financially support applications from outside the expanded São Paulo area and from all over Brazil with a mobility grant.
You have a challenges related to EdTech? Submit it here and we will select the best ones for the hackathon. The challenges will be presented to the participants and they will work on them during the hackathon.

We will have 5 different pre hack Workshops to help you get started with your project.
The senseBox is a modular, open-source, and easy-to-use sensor box for environmental monitoring. It is designed for use in schools and citizen science projects. The senseBox is a great tool for learning about environmental monitoring and data analysis. In this workshop, we will show you how to build your own senseBox and how to use it to collect data.
Last year, the Brazilian School Computing Standard was approved, and according to the Ministry of Education, the implementation in schools should start in 2023. The Computing Standard includes a variety of computing topics that need to be addressed in schools, such as logic, data structures, artificial intelligence. Therefore, this workshop aims to demonstrate how educational technologies can support students in acquiring this expected computing knowledge and skills. For this, we chose one computing topic to address in the workshop: Artificial Intelligence (AI). This workshop will address what AI is and its main techniques and demonstrate some educational tools developed to teach AI in schools. Finally, we will explore an educational technology designed to teach how AI works to students and see how educational technologies can practically support computing education through a German use case.

The world of learning is evolving rapidly with the rise of AI algorithms, offering diverse opportunities, perspectives, but also risks for learning. With a focus on the proper use of these new technologies, sustainable potentials arise for self-organized and independent learning. In the workshop, everything revolves around the central question of how new digital technologies can be used for sustainable learning outcomes. As the maker of your own learning journey, we will discover how to expand digital competences to foster self-determined learning.

In the current global economic, demographic, and ecological crises, imagination and speculation are necessary skills. It is almost impossible to define a service, a product, or a change of habit based only on the present. On the other hand, speculative scenarios can make us use external contexts to reveal possible futures and come up with tangible and usable proposals. The Prototyping workshop will present theory and use questions to invite participants to build and test prototypes within future scenarios.
