Can you believe it's our third year at #EduTECHAU? Time flies when you're revolutionising education!

With each passing year, we've refined our approach, deepened our understanding of the educational challenges, and expanded our reach.

Over the past two days, we've had the privilege of connecting with hundreds of people from diverse backgrounds. From government officials (like the Department of Education) and school leaders to teachers and fellow entrepreneurs, these conversations have been invaluable. We've shared insights into our programs, learned about the challenges facing educators, and explored potential partnerships.

EduTECH AU is more than just an exhibition; it's a platform for collaboration and innovation. We're excited to see the impact of these connections in the months and years to come.

But… Why the Innovation Alley?

You might wonder why HEX, a company with a track record – a 75% completion rate on our high-school accelerator, a University of Sydney partnership, and a global reach – would opt for the Innovation Alley again.

Well, as our Head of Marketing Strategy said, "It's not about the size of the booth; it's about the ENERGY we bring."

The Innovation Alley, a vibrant hub of EdTech startups, provides the perfect platform for us to connect with educators, industry leaders, and fellow innovators. It's where the real conversations happen, where we can share our passion for empowering young minds and learn from others in the field.

Bear vs Shark: More Than Just a Show

Our infamous Bear vs Shark showdown isn't just a fun spectacle; it's a core part of our approach to education. This seemingly simple question – who would win in a fight, a bear or a shark? – sparks critical thinking, debate, and creativity. It's a microcosm of the skills we aim to develop in our students: the ability to analyze complex problems, articulate perspectives, and think outside the box.

At HEX, we believe education should be an exhilarating journey of discovery, not a passive consumption of information. Our programs are designed to empower young people with the tools they need to navigate a rapidly evolving world. By fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, we equip students with the confidence and skills to turn their ideas into reality, and our presence at EduTECH is a testament to our commitment to this mission.

A Look Ahead

As we wrap up our third year at EduTECH, we're already buzzing with excitement for next year's event in Sydney. We'll continue to push boundaries, challenge the status quo, and inspire the next generation of innovators!

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth, chatted with us, and participated in our Bear vs Shark debates. We’re grateful for the new connections made at EduTECH.

A huge shoutout to Terrapin for organising such an amazing event for educators to connect, collaborate, and innovate.
