Register for your place at Demo Night here -> #52
When getting ready for #DemoNightLx52 we found ourselves in an interesting space. What began as a journey to explore education technology soon became an intersection between Innovation, Education and the Future of Work.
Through the lenses of five founders we will see different perspectives on how education is changing, how students can become a key component in open innovation for large corporates, about accessibility for all and education for all.
Guest co-host for the evening, Kyriakos says
“I have been involved in education, technology integration, digital innovation and gamification extensively with Microsoft products like Minecraft, and what we have been seeing is how students who are inspired and engaged in the right way become more proactive, more determined, learn more and retain more. The flexibility of a platform like Minecraft, which allows to be implemented in any curricular area, together with the inclusion it promotes and the relationships it builds between students and teachers, helps institutions to change their posture and mindset on how classes should be delivered and can serve as a foundation on which they can take a step back and allow students to take control of the learning process. We are always learning new ways to activate the brain and these techniques are so far from the old school approach of “chalk and talk”. This is some of the special sauce we bring to life at United Lisbon International School and Eduhub Lisbon.”
The evening starts at 6:30pm on June 1st with networking thanks to the magic of the Airmeet platform.
Demos run from 7pm to 8pm and then networking to close. During this time there will be a chance to meet the founders at their dedicated tables and ask bigger questions.
This event exists to help Founders to build things that people want and need. It is a space where feedback, questions and insights are more than valued, they are cherished.
