Startup Weekends are about learning by doing, whether one is learning a new skill or a new way of thinking.
The people who come to Startup Weekend will learn how to build and launch startups.
Techstars Startup Weekends are perfect opportunities to work on a new platform, learn a new programming language, or marketing it, organisers said.
