聽project, led by the University of Leeds, has funded coaching for a group of trainers to organise a hackathon programme and events involving 14 institutions.
Hackathons are events where participants collaborate and focus on an engineering or technology project over a set period of time.
Eslam Hussein, the current lead for聽, is about to start his PhD at Leeds and is supported by DARA. His PhD will focus on exploring a framework for accelerating research in education, which will investigate if methods like hackathons are useful in this regard.
