G4E (Geeks for Education) encourages collaboration and synergies between school education, industry and non-formal learning settings. G4E intends to support educators coming from organizations to become proficient teachers/trainers and to use digital technologies and STEM in collaborative, creative, attractive and effective ways, also equipping them with methods and tools to transfer know-how to different learners in an inclusive way.
