Watch the LAUNCH Education & Kids Live Stream


We're going to have an amazing 1.5 days together at the LAUNCH Education & Kids conference starting Tuesday, June 12 at 1pm PT with Marshall Tuck, CEO of Partnership for Los Angeles Schools. Last Wednesday I sat through 30 rehearsals with the startups and I was blown away.

Education is one of the last giant markets to be disrupted by technology. This is our first education-focused event, and I believe we are at the start of something very, very big.

Even if you can't be there, here's how you can follow the action:

1. Live stream: http://launch.co/live or www.ustream.tv/launch

2. Hash tag: #launchedu

3. Our twitter account @LAUNCH will be live blogging.

If you want to see a particular company or judge, the lineup for both days is below (all times PT). More on the companies/speakers at launchedu.co.

best, @Jason

PS - We've got 20 kids ranging from 7 to 15 sitting in the front rows offering their feedback, too. One of them will win a set of super-awesome interactive Sifteo cubes (thanks, @merrill!).
