Asha for Education: London Chapter

The Asha London India Edtech Hackathon will be a fun, inspiring day long 'Hack Day', designed to help solve rural unemployment in India.  Key focus areas of the hack day will be the problem of job matching, where people are unaware of the work opportunities in their local area and elsewhere, and upskilling.
We're bringing together people from multiple disciplines (tech, policy, international development, economics, education) and the winning team will have the opportunity to work with Asha London to pilot their solution with our project partners in India.   
If you're interested in education, edtech, international development and/or making the world a better place this day is a must!
The day starts at 10:30, when teams will be formed, before teams have to pitch their solutions at 18:30 to our panel of judges, where a winning team will be announced shortly after!   
Refreshments will be provided throughout the day!
