Emerging technologies for holistic learning (Berlin)

Design learning experiences for engaging and holistic education with support of emerging tech!
We address the common challenges in digital education which still delivers learning in a traditional way. Learners are required to consume displayed information, work through course materials and take tests to assess their knowledge. Even worse, most of learning focuses on cognitive outcomes (knowledge, information), while other aspects of learning such as values (value-based learning), emotions (affective learning) and the body (embodied learning) tend to be neglected. How can we redesign digital education and create engaging and holistic learning experiences using emerging tech?
Join us online on 09 Nov 2021
And team up to solve our challenge:
#9 / Emerging technologies for holistic learning (Berlin)
This challenge is about using emerging technologies to make learning more engaging and holistic! Want to brainstorm in international teams and propose innovative ideas on emerging technologies such as AR/VR/MR, AI & chatbots, wearables, hearables & robots in education? Sign-up & join-in!

Most of the challenges have open recruitment; some challenges have conditional recruitment (be a student part of the challenge owner's institution for example). You can see the status of a challenge by checking its label on the "Challenges" page.
2.2
As a participant, you can only join/take part in one DigiEduHack challenge. You can join alone, or take part as a team. If you take part as a team, each team member should sign up for the challenge individually. The size of the teams is decided by each challenge owner. This size may vary from one challenge to another. The composition of a team is decided by the local challenge owners. Please refer to the documentation specific to the challenge you wish to join. In case of doubt, please contact the challenge owner.
2.3
As a participant, you are expected to take part in all/most of the activities organized by the challenge owner on 9-10 November 2021. Challenge owners can decide to make some or all activities mandatory, either before, during, or after their DigiEduHack event.

2.4
Your solution should be co-created and finalized during the DigiEduHack event you're taking part in. It's allowed to join with draft ideas, frameworks, ideas, and concepts. It's not allowed to join DigiEduHack with a ready-made and/or ready-to-be-rolled-out solution or to use a ready-made and/or ready-to-be-rolled-out solution as a base for your co-creation process: you cannot re-work an already existing solution during DigiEduHack. You can get inspiration from an existing solution but plagiarism, copy, and/or any other form of treachery or deception are totally forbidden. In case of a breach of at least one rule in this paragraph, the challenge owner/host will ultimately decide on the applicable sanction (see infra 2.8). You can use open source resources if you clearly attribute the sampled part(s) to their original creator(s) and if the sampled part(s) is a minor component of your solution.
2.5
DigiEduHack is a multilevel hackathon where each challenge owner chooses one winning solution and might choose one or several runner-ups. Each challenge owner has their own judging grid to assess submitted solutions: please contact your challenge owner for more details. All the winning solutions (NOT the runner-ups) enter the global competition where the DigiEduHack steering group chooses 10 to 12 finalists based on the criteria available here. These 10 to 12 finalist solutions are uploaded on a platform to be submitted to a public vote. The three solutions that gather the most votes are declared global winners.
2.6
At the end of the event you are taking part in, follow and respect your challenge owner's instructions on when to stop working on your solution and on where, how, and when your solution will be assessed: pay especially attention to mandatory pitching/demo sessions and upload requirements. You had no time to finish? No worries: notify it during your pitch/demo/upload in the description of your project.

If a single participant in a team breaks a rule, the participant will be excluded from their team and from DigiEduHack. The rest of the team can keep taking part in DigiEduHack. If a team as a whole breaks a rule, they will be excluded from DigiEduHack. Each challenge owner decides in full discretion on exclusions for their own event. The DigiEduHack central team decides in full discretion on exclusions for the global competition. Exclusions are definitive. Solutions that break the rules described in 2.4 will be disqualified.

A platform aimed to help people learn new languages using VR technology combined with gaming tools and AI.
What's the concept?
We make kids empathize with children being excluded. VR makes it possible to change perspectives!
You think that's all? By far not.
Adding to the VR experience, we designed an app, inspiring each kid to reflect on their experiences, call them to action & making real change happen.
The process begins with a regular lesson on an online platform.
In today's world, we have a variety of people and behavior patterns that we want to address appropriately.
Our algorithm is able to identify behaviors with our AI technology and rate them accordingly.
