I'm interested in edtech, but I'm not ready to start my own company yet. How can I get involved?
Join a local edtech Meetup group. Volunteer in a school to see how tech is used in education. If you’re an educator, use tech tools in your classroom. Send feedback to the companies whose products you use. (They love this!) Attend a Startup Weekend event. Learn more about entrepreneurship through YC Startup School.
