DigiEduHack started in 2019, as part of the first Digital Education Action Plan of the European Commission. For its first five editions, it gathered nearly 10 000 participants from Europe and beyond. The initiative continues under the Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027, with a long-term goal to support grassroots innovation and contribute to the objectives of the European Digital Education Hub.

The EU has announced the return of the DigiEduHack Hacking Days  from 7 to 16 November 2025, with a global series of 24-hour hackathons. 

The initiative invites students, educators, and entrepreneurs to tackle pressing challenges in digital education, including the integration of AI, data-driven education, or accessibility. Since 2019, more than 10,000 participants have created over 1,300 solutions, from gamified climate education to AI student assistants.
