Startup world is so inspiring because of the endless spirit to solve some of the toughest problems. And making education relevant, efficient and fun is one of the key challenges for moving society into the right direction. “I’ve never let my school interfere with my education” said Mark Twain over a century ago, but do we feel any different today?! It’s 2018 and we keep hearing how current school system isn’t working and is failing to train us for the real world. At Startup Grind we found some of those EdTech heroes who are passionate to spend their days and nights reshaping the future of education.

Join us on Tuesday, 30th of October at Oslo House of Innovation for an evening focused on Edtech! 

Agenda:

• Registration starts at 18:30 and program starts at 19:00

• Fireside chat with Jerome Lacoste, co-founder & CTO at WeWantToKnow. Jerome is the CTO of WeWantToKnow, the startup behind DragonBox – a series of games designed to make learning concepts seem easy. DragonBox was launched in 2012 and since then it has been sold to over 1 million users, being featured in Wired and Forbes. During the fireside chat we will be covering DragoBox’s story and what it takes to build a successful company in this space.

• Panel discussion “Scaling or failing in edtech” with Edtech startups: Tellef Tveit from LearnLink, Simen Fossnes from Sci-Code, Rafid Hoda from Bitcamp and Maria Akkuratnova from Mattekrets (as moderator)
