Not all programs that support edtech development require spending months in an incubator. Startup Weekend EDU is a national organization that supports local communities of entrepreneurship, bringing together teachers, entrepreneurs, developers, and designers to build products and launch startups. Events through the organization take place throughout the year and all over the country, giving nearly anyone with an idea and the motivation to change education a place to go to make things happen. To date, more than 45,000 people have participated in the program and more than 36% of startups innovated at the events have lasted more than three months. Startup Weekend EDU isn’t alone; there are other events like it as well, including RemixEd, which takes a similar approach to encouraging edtech development. With organizations like these helping push forward the next generation of edtech products, serious changes to technology in the classroom may be on the horizon
