Online designathon projects

We have created a series of online projects in which children (7 -12 years) come up with solutions for a real-world problem. Each project starts with a video, after which children come up with an idea, sketch it and (if desired) build a prototype. At the end of each project, children present their invention to their classmates or at home. The projects offer a great way to engage children in a problem-solving activity and foster creativity, critical thinking and changemaking skills.
You need about 60 minutes per project.

For now, we offer two themes online:

How can we prevent single-use plastic? and How can we ensure a world with clean water for everyone?
New projects are added regularly, so sign up here for an update!
