A space for talent, innovation and social commitment to rethink education and move towards a more inclusive and equitable society.

Take part in edtecHack, connecting educational and social talent to create real inclusion solutions.

4–5 February 2026 · EdTech Congress Barcelona

Design real inclusion solutions together with pioneering organisations, teachers, students, educational centres, social entities and EdTech companies.

Join a unique experience where creativity, technology and social commitment come together to rethink education from new perspectives.

edtecHack is the flagship experience of EdTech Congress Barcelona 2026: an opportunity to co-create responses to real educational inclusion challenges proposed by organisations such as Super Campus (3CAT), EduCaixa, Mona fundation and Obra Social Sant Joan de Déu, in collaboration with Campus Sant Joan de Déu and the Edutech Cluster.

Over two days, you will be part of a dynamic and multidisciplinary environment where you will work, learn and create alongside professionals from the educational and social sectors.

An experience designed to generate tangible impact and foster transformative talent.

Challenges we will address during the hackathon

Participants will collaborate to respond to inclusion and educational transformation challenges proposed by key organisations:

Super Campus – Strengthening personal competencies
How can we support the personal development of children and young people through innovative educational experiences?
Obra Social Sant Joan de Déu – Combating hate speech
What actions and strategies can we co-create to prevent and reduce discriminatory discourse, promoting coexistence and respect?
Fundació MONA – Connecting with the planet
How can we boost environmental awareness and strengthen our connection with the planet through transformative educational proposals?
EDUCAIXA - ”la Caixa” Foundation - Preventing School Dropout
How can we facilitate the transition from Primary to Secondary education in order to prevent school dropout and ensure that secondary school —at this crucial stage and even in the most vulnerable contexts— becomes a safe environment for socialization, development, and learning for all students?
