Startup Weekend EDU is an intense 54 hour event which focuses on building a web or mobile application with an education focus which could form the basis of a credible business over the course of a weekend. The weekend brings together people with different skillsets - primarily software developers, educators, graphic designers and business people - to build applications and develop a commercial case around them.
