EdTech 3.0 - The World's Premier AI in Education Hackathon
Education is the highest-leverage problem of our time.
Billions of students lack access to quality instruction. The world's best teachers can't scale. And the gap between what AI can do and what classrooms actually use has never been wider.
EdTech 3.0 exists to close that gap in seven days.
WHAT YOU'LL BUILD?
You'll spend 7 structured days building pilot-ready AI agents across one of four challenge tracks:
Track 1 - AI Tutors & Personalised Learning Build intelligent tutoring agents that adapt in real time to how each student thinks, struggles, and succeeds.
Track 2 - Assessment & Feedback Automation Teachers spend 40% of their time grading. Help give that time back — and make feedback smarter.
Track 3 - Accessibility & Inclusive Learning Multilingual tutors, tools for learners with disabilities, solutions for students in under-resourced settings.
Track 4 - Real Classroom AI (Live Use Case) Have access to a real school or learning environment? Build and test there. Judged on real-world evidence.
