How support for educational technology builds future skills
How it works
The Open Educational Resources (OER) project allows teachers to voice their needs for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) digital learning content to EPFL LEARN. EPFL students and other LEARN-affiliated labs then develop proposals in response. The idea with the most positive votes from the teachers wins the bid and CHF 10,000 toward the development of the relevant digital educational resources.
Open Educational Resources created in this way are then made available to the entire Swiss education community free of charge, benefitting educators and students alike.
Swiss EdTech Collider
How it works
This organization supports edtech startups that aim to transform the education system through the use of technologies. The Swiss EdTech Collider offers startups not only a forum to exchange ideas with like-minded enthusiasts, but the expertise of EPFL and its Innovation Park, and also access to schools, educational institutions, companies, edtech experts and investors, as well as other edtech networks.
This unique ecosystem contributes to the development of the education technology sector in Switzerland and benefits learners of all ages.
