What is it about?
This year, “Global Children’s Designathon” is happening at the same time in 40 countries, for the second time in Belgrade on November 16th at Nova Iskra Workspace Dorćol.
Among 1200 children from all around the world, this time there will also be 30 children from Serbia.
At this competition, children will work in small teams while creating solutions using electronic components, coding in Micro:bit using different creative materials. Children are going to work with educators in the field of design, ecology, sustainable development and new technologies.
The competition is taking place according to the unique methodology of Designathon, which prepares children around the world to design the future, teaching them to use creativity and new technologies. After finishing Designathon, children will have an opportunity to present their solutions to the jury made of people from educational sector, sustainable development, social entrepreneurship, IT and media, while the three best eco solutions are going to be awarded.
