Co-founder/CEO at Praktikal | Empowering teachers to create a student-centred classroom experience in STEAM
EdTech Next Summit by Founders Foundation gGmbH and EDUvation was a blast! 🤘 Bielefeld treated us great - good food, fun people and nice views. But I am most grateful for the new connections made. The 4AM train was totally worth it! ⭐ The key summary is that there is much room and need for education innovation in the #German market. The potential for #EdTech to create positive change is huge - saving teachers time and engaging students is vital. So it really aligns with what we envision at Praktikal. We need to empower teachers to create a student-centred classroom experience where active learning methods and hands-on activities spark the passion for science. ✅ I really resonated with Annika Renker about the need for, and potential of formative assessment. It's one of the key areas where teachers need tools and support because it could have a great positive impact on the students motivation, joy of learning, and performance. 🔎 Carla Aerts also shared great insights on product-market fit with the focus on context. I agree that content used to be king, but now the throne belongs to metadata. #Startups from #Estonia know from the very start that we can not build our solution for our tiny market, but have to be international from the start. In education there are challenges like adhering different curricula and assessments. So it is important to create content in a way that it can be easily aligned with different curricula. And shoutout to others as well - let's connect soon!

Glad to share the experience with SpeakTX (Andres Mellik and Salome Virkus), EdTech Estonia (Märt Aro), and the Schoolify Deutschland GmbH team. #education #edtech #germany #educationestonia
