Welcome to
Harris County x Tech Fest Live x Swiirl Campaign Portal
Empowering Students. Engaging Communities. Elevating Opportunity.
Power partnership
Thanks to a groundbreaking partnership between Harris County Department of Education (HCDE), Tech Fest Live, and Swiirl, your school is now invited to participate in brand-funded campaigns that amplify student voices, engage parents and educators, and unlock new educational and economic opportunities for your community.
This portal is your school’s entry point into the Swiirl Network — a platform where students become creators, schools gain visibility, and communities drive meaningful storytelling alongside some of the world's leading brands.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR SCHOOL

Selected students will co-create content for major public events like STEM GoPro Day (June 2025) and the Tech Fest Live Expo (November 2025).
Paid opportunities for students
Students and educators may be compensated for their work on brand campaigns.
This model encourages schools to work with families, increasing trust and impact.
Parent engagement
By joining this campaign network now, your school becomes eligible for future opportunities and partnerships across HCDE’s 27 districts.
