Tuesday, 19:30, 1 hour 15 minutes | Room 201 |

With the continued growth in the use of Eclipse comes the requirement that more universities, colleges and even high-schools provide education on it. In this BOF, we will talk about a new initiative that has started with the tasks of developing and promoting Eclipse educational content targeted at university and college level students. The goal is to create a sustainable ecosystem of educators and interested people dedicated to these activities. Bring your ideas on what content is already available, what new content we need to develop, and how we can get educators using it.
