Whether you are a developer with a passion for education, a teacher looking to improve the effectiveness in your classroom or a student wanting to see more technology used in your school, come to be part of this exciting creative process.
XR EDU Challenge attendees will tackle to solve some of the toughest challenges faced in education. Something as simple as student engagement or more complex such as retention rates for learning. Come be part of the the SHIFT in tomorrow's educational system. Categories include most student friendly, best suited to subject area, gamified learning, creating empathy and more. Thanks to our sponsors Microsoft and Samsung we will have some microsoft mixed reality headsets available and top developers on hand to offer support.
