TACKLE BIG CHALLENGES IN EDUCATION THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP!
Startup Weekend Education (SWEDU) brings together people of all skill-sets and experience levels to collaboratively launch tools, schools and learning spaces that re-imagine the future of school and education more broadly.
Everyone is welcome and no previous entrepreneurial experience is required!
Unlike other Startup Weekend events, Startup Weekend EDU Seattle is FREE to attend for all participants. However, we are crowdfunding the funds we need to make this event a success! If you're able to contribute, please pitch in, and share the link with your friends, family, and advocates.
