Switzerland is ripe with small tech communities and associations that love to pass on their knowledge, but often lack the volunteers with a professional background to create solid open education materials.
At the same time, teachers have great ideas, only two hands, and students that they feel could use help to foster their talents in extra-curricular communities.
So let me introduce you to some of the NGOs in Switzerland that build and foster tech communities, and tell you how to best approach them!
The goal of this talk is to give educators, volunteers and tech communities an opportunity to learn about each other and hopefully work on common projects in the future.
