About the Hackathon: Multiple teams, made up of participants from different disciplines will be united at Victoria Universtiy 1 & 2 December to shape the future of Latin American language and culture learning across New Zealand. Ideas will be hatched and developed, and the solutions pitched. The teams will be presented with the challenge below:    The newly formed Latin America CAPE * and Creative HQ have come together to bring you the first-ever Latin American EduHack. Over the hackathon we will explore language and culture learning in our schools and innovate ways to enhance this. Latin America will be an exciting part of New Zealand’s future. Together, we can make this happen. Discover the impact we can make when multiple groups from all areas of our education arena unite. How can we share the rich cultures of Latin America here in Aotearoa? How can we encourage our young learners to take Spanish for NCEA? How can schools better celebrate, enable and sustain language learning? How can we leverage emerging technologies to introduce unfamiliar regions in world-leading ways? How do we show our youth that learning other languages can translate to rewarding career paths and the brightest futures? *Latin America Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence Registration  You will need need to register to attend the Pitch Showcase, your Eventbrite registration is your ticket in.  This Eventbrite registration is for the Pitch Showcase event only.  To participate in the full 12 hours, you will need to register seperately for the EduHack: Latin America Hackathon.
