Email for Informing Students and Parents

Dear ... and parents, Our school is pleased to inform you that we are conducting a #EduFoodHack hybrid hackathon!

A hackathon is a rather fluid concept which essentially entails a short intensive event in which participants from all walks of life, with all sorts of expertise, work together to solve complex issues. When a hackathon uses technology to more efficiently collaborate, not only face to face but also online, it is called a hybrid hackathon. #EduFoodHack is an initiative that addresses food waste issues through collaboration between classrooms in different European countries.

Through this hybrid hackathon, our students will be thoroughly researching and solving real-world societal issues using creative and innovative methods, allowing them to create for themselves a hugely valuable learning experience. They will learn and ideate together and provide feedback on eachother, further enhancing the solutions they come up with.

Our school has chosen to take up the challenge to help tackle food waste and to make education grow alongside the needs and wants of both our students and society as a whole.

As a student at our school, we are inviting you to participate in the #EduFoodHack. In this hackathon you will get to experience a vastly different way of looking at problems, guided by a variety of tools. Together with your team, you will learn how to think outside of the box and use different methods of collaboration in order to make a true impact on the world around you. You will get to meet students from other European countries and support eachother in achieving your common goal: Reducing food waste.

We hope to have peaked your interest. To learn more and to enrol, please ..
