teech - a brief overview
The story of teech started in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic, when we developed a digital classroom for schools. By working with these schools from all over Germany, we became aware of one problem in particular: the school system is not only outdated, it is moving slower than the outside world. Instead, we are trying to force an extreme amount of knowledge into young people that neither interests them nor could be relevant to their future.
The result: young talents never find out where their strengths lie. School always forgets their individuality and potential. Uncertainty and disorientation spread, even faster due to the pandemic. But: If the child has problems in a school subject, they get tutoring, if they have a sporting streak, they play soccer in a club - or go to piano lessons. But what do you do if the child is already interested in other subjects at school age? Subjects that otherwise have no place in school, but are perhaps important for the child's future?
The solution: teech as a platform.
Instead of focusing on their weaknesses, we promote their interests and strengths and take advantage of the benefits of digitalization. They are accompanied by role models such as bestselling authors, Netflix directors, DTM world champions and successful music producers, exciting companies that represent their industry, job profiles and technologies.
Inspiration Days: free, hybrid career guidance and more
With the Inspiration Days, we offer schools from all over Germany free orientation and inspiration on a new level: a hybrid career orientation event that provides insights into a wide variety of everyday working life and has inspired thousands of participants since 2021. So far, the project has been supported above all by exciting personalities such as Joko Winterscheidt, Lena Gercke, Sebastian Fitzek and many more, who have given an authentic insight into their lives.
The Bro-Founders:
For their vision of the hybrid classroom of the future, the two Darmstadt brothers Emanuele and Joel Monaco returned to the past: to their school. This time, they both had a building block in their backpacks with which they could rebuild their school following the school closures during the pandemic. While many schools had previously avoided the topic of digitalization and had to resort to available conference tools to conduct lessons, the brothers developed the idea of a teaching tool for schools that is specifically designed for online teaching with the lockdown in spring 2020 - now it forms the basis for Europe's largest educational event and hybrid platform, which has never existed in this form before.
Long Story Short
teech was created in 2020 during the pandemic as a digital classroom for schools. The founding brothers Joel and Emanuele Monaco realized that the school system was not only outdated, but also did little to address individual strengths.
Therefore, teech offers a platform that promotes the interests and strengths of the students and connects them with inspiring personalities such as bestselling authors and successful music producers.
With the Inspiration Days, teech has been offering free, hybrid career orientation events since 2021 that give pupils an insight into various professional fields. This is supported by well-known personalities such as Joko Winterscheidt and Lena Gercke. The founders, inspired by their own school experience, developed a tool specially designed for online teaching, which now forms the basis for Europe's largest educational event and a hybrid platform.
