Change in the digital age impacts every industry, and education is no exception. Now is the time to rethink how education is developed and delivered to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s jobs. To spark this exploration, Deloitte hosted a hack-a-thon with 150 diverse stakeholders—ranging from business executives to high school students to innovators—to create an immersive experience and take Dbyd strategies into the Canadian education system.
Participants worked in teams to create an agile solution for a large-scale problem using innovation, analytics & AI, and digital strategies. Their solutions were showcased to a judging panel of industry influencers and change-makers. The hack-a-thon is win-win: participants dive into real opportunities using new strategies, and the Canadian educational system benefits from real, transformative ideas.
Our keynote speaker for the Hack-a-thon event was a world-renowned authority on educational reform.
