Is Your School Ready to Date a Startup?

NEW RSVP PROCESS--We will be using Eventbrite to handle RSVPs for this event. Please register here (http://sfedtech.eventbrite.com/), as this will be our master list for tracking attendees.

How do you turn a spring fling into a serious relationship? <3

How can startups and schools work with one another to build better relationships and shape product development? We’ll hear from:

Companies that go above and beyond (their office) and into classrooms. Those that go further than just observing and talking and maybe even teach a class themselves Educators who open the classroom to coders and impact how they can best work with schools And not all relationships are meant to work out. Startups will pivot--or fold. Schools may realize it’s not worth the time or money--or simply choose someone else. What mutual understandings and ground rules ought to be in place to avoid a messy breakup?

Food and beverages will be generously provided by Orrick.
