Silicon Valley-based startup SchoolHacks, which specializes in organizing hackathons specifically created for school-aged pupils, has been acquired by JetLearn, an Amsterdam-based e-learning platform that aids kids in learning modern technology skills.
About SchoolHacks:
SchoolHacks was started in 2017 by Yash Narayan and has since attracted thousands of kids from more than 40 nations.
Narayan will join JetLearn as a strategic advisor as part of the transaction to aid in growing operations and SchoolHacks’ international reach.
“After having a life-changing experience participating in hackathons as a young person, I founded SchoolHacks. At the time, I was frequently the lone student present at these gatherings for seasoned adult programmers,” recalls Narayan.
Narayan further said, “My goal with SchoolHacks was to motivate students to use their entrepreneurial ingenuity to develop novel technological solutions to solve important issues by building a fun and encouraging environment for them. I’m delighted JetLearn will continue this effort to have a greater global influence.”
