Global Startup Weekend – EDU
A Bottom-Up “Little Bets” Opportunity
  to Nurture Education Innovations



                         A little bet is
                   a low-risk action taken to
                            discover,
                         develop, and
                         test an idea.
“Surpassing Shanghai”
   A Top-Down Agenda to Improve US Education
                                                 Surpassing Shanghai:
                                         An Agenda for American Education
                                         Built on the World's Leading Systems
                                This book answers a simple question: How would one
                                redesign the American education system if the aim
                                was to take advantage of everything that has been
                                learned by countries with the world’s best education
                                systems?

                                The message is clear: If we are serious, we have to
                                stop simply comparing California to Connecticut to
                                Kansas. It’s time to swim in deeper water with
                                Singapore, Ontario, Japan, and others who are eating
                                our lunch.

                                — John Merrow, education correspondent, PBS
                                NewsHour and president, Learning Matters

Google Supports Startup Weekend, Including EDU

This partnership will help Startup Weekend expand to dozens of additional cities
around the world and launch new vertical competitions focused on specific
