23-29 September - Arnhem
After organizing several EDUhacks this year we teamed up with STUDIO WHY this fall to help a SUMMA's Process technology course develop new learning tools. In March we co-created our first successful hackathon with the Design.Deltas methodology. A methodology to train Design Thinking in practical and creative workshops.
The outcomes of this hackathon were amazing since all stakeholders were represented. Teachers invited their students to join their team plus their internship partner companies. We were hosted by a renovated innovation hub (formally Van Kaathoven Group's office) in Sint Oedenrode. With 5 urban and modern rooms and €80.000 in technologies facilitated by maker Raoul Postel from Grafisch Lyceum Utrecht, Roel Steendijk from Avans Den Bosch and SUMMA college Eindhoven.
2 different pitches were given, the first with LEGO Serious Play to conceptualize the first ideas and the final pitches were given to a professional jury with demos of the prototypes. Teachers are currently further developing the new lesson material and soon we hope to say that SUMMA college will be the first school that replaces exams with Escape rooms. That offers their students experimental technologies like Micro-bit to train problem-solving skills, using AR to educate on demand in the industry and uses VR to simulate real-life factory context and grant shorter school years based on students experience.

After this hackathon was finished we decided to put our heads together on a very special next event: Innovation Games including a hackathon. A week-long event, a small version of Campus Party powered by the Province of Gelderland in Arnhem to solve city challenges. A collaboration between a festival and a hackathon just like we loved so much of Campus Party and now able to organize it for 60 hackers, hustlers and hipsters to join completely for FREE and be able to win €1500 in prizes. Are you yet convinced?
Experience best of both and Sign-up, the only thing you need is enough coding spirit and your best gear to turn ideas into working prototypes. You have a complete week this time! see you 23-29 September 2017.
HOPE TO SEE YOU THEN.
