HACK FOR GLOBAL GOOD
2022 SUMMIT
2022 TOPIC: EDUCATION
EDUCATION was selected among the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. With the mass adoption of on-demand, free learning resources, and the ability to generate impact and income in this creator economy, learning is quickly being reimagined all over the world.
Student teams will explore EDUCATION with the goal to
Unlearn
Sometimes we have to UNLEARN what has always been.
Uncover
To UNCOVER problems.
Unlock
In order to UNLOCK new possibilities.

WHY EDUCATION ? WHY NOW?
There are no better experts to help design and develop solutions to school or education-related challenges than students!
Hack for Global Good offers registrants the opportunity to engage in this year’s EDUCATION theme by placing students at the center of their own learning.
Covid-19 Implications.
School closures kept
90%
of all students out of school.
THE AGENDA
REGISTER

You can check the app for regular updates from the Hack for Global Good community. News, questions, speakers, and workshops are accessed digitally and frequently to keep you informed and allow you to connect throughout the hackathon. Teams can connect on a videoconference meeting within the Whova app!
