DigiEduHack 2025: Recap of the Finalist Live Pitching
One minute. 12 teams. A unique opportunity to gain expert feedback and spotlight their innovations. On 11 February, the DigiEduHack finalists took the global stage during our Live Pitching Session. In just 60 seconds each, they had to show one thing: that their solution could transform the learning landscape in the age of digital skills.
At DigiEduHack, we believe education should go beyond the classroom walls. This year’s theme, “Rethinking Education in the Age of Digital Skills,” pushed our community of students, teachers, and innovators to expand their ideas of what was possible.
How the finalists were evaluated
At DigiEduHack, all local winning solutions are assessed by DigiEduHack experts based on their quality, relevance, originality, feasibility, sustainability, and transferability. The 12 best teams are then shortlisted as finalists, and it is up to the global community to choose the four winners through the public voting.
One of our Steering Group members, Davide Coppaloni, reflected:
“I've been seeing the quality of the ideas submitted in the past three years increasing exponentially. We passed from a very basic to a very concrete and almost to the ‘launch phase’ type of ideas.”
The live session provided a unique opportunity to meet the teams behind each solution, and the rapid-fire pitches captured the high-energy spirit of hackathons.
