College students: join this edtech hackathon hosted by Yellowdig

Though the company raised $1 million to set up an NYC office, Yellowdig is keeping true to its Philly roots: on Nov. 12 the company will rally college students at its Center City HQ for a hackathon on social learning.
At the gathering of technologists, Shaunak Roy’s edtech startup is looking to explore one simple question: does social learning work?
