'Empowering children to create a better world'
Designathon Works teaches children (8 to 12 years old) the skills that help them develop ideas and solutions for a better world. The children gain knowledge on the Sustainable Development Goals and develop 21st-century skills to collaboratively develop new solutions and take action. The Designathon method recognizes that all children can and want to contribute, regardless of their gender, race, class, skill level, or learning situation. Some examples of the diversity of the children we work with include children growing up in the slums of Nairobi, newcomers in their first year in the Netherlands, gifted children at The Day a Week School in Amsterdam and children in Shanghai, China who have won the Shanghai Science Fair competition. Our global community enables us to reach children all around the world and provide them with the possibility to receive social and environmental education.
Designathon Works has worked with over 100.000 children located in 50+ countries worldwide.
