Building on the success of its first edition in 2023, the 2024 Stanford Accelerate Edtech Impact summit will gather 400+ edtech leaders, researchers, funders, educators and students on Stanford campus to collaboratively shape a future of learning that is not only effective but also equitable and responsive to the needs of all learners.
The Education Entrepreneurship Hub is organizing a Project Showcase as a part of the Accelerate Edtech Impact Summit for students and recent alumni to share their education innovation ventures for feedback from industry leaders.
