This fall, 70 young adults will congregate in Croatia for 10×10, a hackathon to tackle challenges facing education on a global level.
Innovative technology is poised to revolutionize the way people learn on a global level. With countries from around the world being represented on teams, the diversity in cultures and experience will contribute to new perspectives on such a universal subject as education.
10×10 is open to developers, designers, and non-technical people who want the chance to create original solutions to improve education for millions worldwide. Selected participants will be provided with travel to Croatia as well as accommodations while competing in the hackathon.
The hackathon will be held directly before the GEC2, a gathering where policymakers and entrepreneurs will discuss the Entrepreneurial Mindset. The competition will be a hands-on experience for young people to demonstrate ways in which the next generation of entrepreneurs can make a difference in a global context.
The topics teams may explore are endless, but we are proposing a few critical challenges to education worldwide to start team brainstorms. The challenges include:
Access to education;
Quality of education;
Funding of education;
Entrepreneurial education;
Access to mentors; and
Access to education across borders.
Enroll Today will kick off with short talks from experts in the field highlighting major obstacles facing education. On-site mentors to help with business ideas and developer support will be provided to assist teams as they collaborate to create innovative products.
Learn more about 10×10 and apply to join us in Croatia if you have what it takes to hack education for the greater good!
The difference is that STEM education is the entry point. Science, technology, engineering and math is the entry point for entrepreneurs that want to participate and actually compete in a tech-driven economy. And without that type of background and without having the access points to the networks that you largely see at Harvard and MIT and Stanford and many of the other research institutions and institutions of innovation, we’re not in those circles.
We don’t have the academic background. We don’t have an understanding. We don’t have generational knowledge of the type of entrepreneurship that exists today. We don’t have the generational wealth that is passed down that provides the boot-strapping needs of entrepreneurs. We’re missing a number of the basic resources that empower entrepreneurs to compete in today’s society.
They are competitive, creative, innovative, resilient and courageous. If those sound like core characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, they are, and we need to build on them.
It’s no secret that America’s black boys are considered the most difficult to educate, recalcitrant, truant, lost, confused, angry and dangerous demographic in the public-education system. The “school-to-prison pipeline” is an apt description for the millions of black male teenagers who must navigate the tumultuous channels of failed high poverty schools and communities without a committed, knowledgeable adult male to guide them through the daily dilemmas and risk assessments that far too often force them to choose between life and death. This horrific paradigm persists primarily because educators, policymakers, investors and CEOs have also failed at math and risk assessment.
One of the solutions to America’s current crisis of flailing economics in its metro regions and flagging global economic competitiveness lies in the potential of one of the nation’s most promising assets: black boys. America has seen consistent resiliency and success from black males in each generation, despite centuries of degradation and deliberate institutional hostility. In today’s knowledge-based, tech-driven, globally competitive innovation economy, the key to discovering a solution to America’s economic woes requires a different lens through which leaders view investing in black boys. That lens is math.
The nation’s highest growth in entrepreneurship from 2002 to 2007 was among black Americans: 60 percent, more than three times the national average during the same period, resulting in the creation of 1.9 million black-owned businesses.
Saving America’s black boys, by investing in their innovative competitive intelligence through policies of inclusive competitiveness, would yield a future bumper crop of American innovators prepared to compete in a globally competitive, tech-based workforce and to become high-growth, job-creating entrepreneurs. Investing in saving America’s most disconnected demographic is an investment in saving America.
