Agiledemics – Agile In Academics Initiative

The purpose of the Agiledemics Initiative is to promote Agile education in academics (students and educators in schools, colleges, and universities) through community-based hubs. Unlike existing commercial offerings, the Agiledemic Hubs are community-based and provide FREE education and mentorship to Students and Educators on Agile and emerging working culture, as they prepare to participate in the workforce.

Main Activities

  • Attract Agile Professionals to volunteer in sharing knowledge and mentoring
  • Attract local organizations to provide internship opportunities
  • Recognize contributors and learners
