ReImagine India
An exclusive children-led hackathon
to co-solve the Indian educational crisis together!
Educational overhaul
It's hard to ignore the elephant in the room (COVID-19) which has left us with a lot more challenges than ever before, particularly in the education sector.
We have teachers grappling with new ways to adapt and implement their curriculum in a completely digital environment, while students are getting adjusted to the study-from-home lifestyle with everything being done in front of screens.
The need to confront and innovate is now.
Why children?
From Greta Thunberg to Malala, we have seen young children's ability to transform the world. As more teachers and pedagogy experts gather to have more fruitful dialogues regarding education, it becomes even more important to get promising solutions from the other side of the spectrum.
The children themselves.
Through this hackathon, we are confident that simple solutions would emerge from the complex, wicked challenges which has currently engulfed the Indian education sector through the lens of children.
How it works
ReImagine India hackathon is an online-hackathon designed to bring children as active participants in rebuilding stronger, better India post-pandemic.
The best solutions that emerge from this hackathon would be given mentorship support for implementation with our partners.
