Orlando Startup Weekend Education (SWEDU) 2016 brings together people of all skills and experience levels to launch tools, build schools and create learning spaces that redesign the future of education and the concept of school.
This is The City Beautiful's sixth Startup Weekend Education, proving that Orlando has always been on the forefront of innovating and changing education. Participants will pitch ideas and try to take it to the next level with support from amazing mentors. Their custom stickers for the event are really awesome, featuring the Lake Eola fountain in Orlando with the event name wrapped around the image. It's a simple design yet really portrays the feel of Orlando and makes a great sticker to slap on laptops.
Thanks to the Valencia College Collaborative Design Center for serving as host sponsor, and 4.0 Schools in the USA. 4.0 Schools is a non-profit incubator for education startups and schools. 4.0 is a community of educators, entrepreneurs and families that believe education can be dramatically better for every learner. In addition to Startup Weekend Education, 4.0 Schools supports entrepreneurs through its Essentials and Community Catalyst programs.
The action is happening on the @orlandostartup handle on Twitter.
