EduHack aims to work with the potential of innovation as a co-creation process, embedding this practice in co-designing the tools for organising Educational Innovative Hackathons. This will be achieved by establishing multi-stakeholder Educational Innovative Hubs in each partner country.

The Hubs aim to bring together the expertise from local educational fields, innovation centres, universities, industry, local government, IT, creative individuals and companies, to name but a few. Working within these Hubs will include local meetings and workshops in addition to two intense short-term international mutual-learning and exchanging workshops. The function of these is to gather the necessary input to design the format of the hackathon. Crucial issues will also be explored which will be “hacked” during four different hackathons that take place in different partner countries throughout the course of the project. Educational Innovative Hackathons take place in Latvia, Estonia, Turkey and Spain and they are organised to test and improve the tools, as well as to find solutions to problems posed in education.

The hackathons are aimed at reaching different profiles – tech and design enthusiasts, students, industry professionals, marketing companies, museum workers/guides, software developers etc. Each hackathon will include a board of mentors which will be made up of educational experts in addition to educational practitioners ( i.e teachers, principals/headmasters).
