Triangle Startup Weekend starts Friday.

The 54-hour event, which will focus for the first time on education, gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to work with coaches and other entrepreneurs to create and plan education-themed presentations. The pitches will then be judged at the end of the weekend.

The event includes speakers Wendy Lybrand and Jenny Eigenrauch, co-founders of DoTheData.com, and coaches such as Brian Marks, CTO of WebAssign, Susan Kellog, CIO at the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School, and software developer Sidd Chopra.

Triangle Startup Weekend runs Friday, March 8 through Sunday, March 10 and will take place at HUB Raleigh, located at 711 Hillsborough Street.
