it fosters positive educational change by bringing together interdisciplinary teams, which contributes to enhancing the National Student Survey (NSS) score through the improvement of teaching and learning via peer-to-peer feedback among students and staff.
it demonstrates autonomy in student learning and gives us feedback about what students find most useful and effective.
it facilitates connections among UCL community members, enabling them to excel and innovate within their specialties through the creation and optimised use of digital tools especially under the AI era.
the event creates a welcoming safe space for students and staff to collaborate on projects that they care about. It brings all kinds of diverse perspectives and skills together into one space to tackle shared challenges. Everyone wins!
it provides students with an opportunity for collaboration and cooperation on real projects with expert guidance and mentoring.
it is an authentic opportunity for student voice and staff-student co-creation
it provides a space to work together between Students and Staff as equals, is a source of great ideas and create a very strong network between the participants.
it challenges us to break out of the silos in which –unavoidably- we learn, teach and work and to unite in tackling shared challenges to which everyone can make a valuable contribution and from which we all can learn.
I care deeply about UCL community. One of UCL’s biggest strengths is its diversity and immense creativity. #LearnHack provides a space where great minds can meet and solve challenges together.
it nurtures my innovative thinking and teaching methods, developing my leadership skills.
it's fun, provides you an interaction with students different from a classroom environment and you learn a lot from all the projects.
it positively impacts educational transformation and institutional citizenship.
it’s an opportunity to get to know some of our students, explore new ideas and have fun.
it embodies and mobilises the true power of a large multidisciplinary seat of learning and scholarship and ignores barriers to entry and contributing just like UCL's founders envisaged we should. Everyone can learn from being part of it, and everyone can participate in making a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.
volunteering for #LearnHack has taught me more about collaborative IT projects than all the prince II training I ever took! - And it’s fun!
