History – the story of eduhu
eduhu is the result of a cooperation between Schule Digital Begreifen (SDB) and EinrichtWerk. EinrichtWerk is a provider of innovative furniture for schools and educational institutions and is best known for the pentagonal table it developed itself. In its collaboration with schools, EinrichtWerk has noticed time and again that while schools were enthusiastic about the new equipment, in practice they often continued to hold traditional classes and did not take advantage of the possibilities offered by the mobile furniture.
Schule Digital Begreifen, on the other hand, came into being because Michelle, Christopher and Steffen wanted to enable teachers to make the most of the technical facilities already available at individual schools and to provide innovative teaching despite the given limitations.
When Sara, Julia and Nils from EinrichtWerk then met Steffen, Michelle and Christopher from SDB in 2022, it was clear after a very short time that everyone involved had the same ideas about what needed to change in the educational landscape. After intensive workshops, discussions and joint conversations, the first idea of what eduhu is today emerged within a few months. Since then, we have continued to develop eduhu to give as many teachers as possible the chance to do the best teaching they can.
