Kids Hack the Crisis

/

On 23–25 October, UNICEF Sweden and the Swedish Institute (SI) are organizing Kids Hack the Crisis – the first global digital hackathon for children to participate in the dialogue about the ongoing crisis. Children, mentors and partner organizations are now invited to participate in this unique initiative.

Kids Hack the Crisis is a global online hackathon for children to create solutions to the #COVID19 pandemic and reimagine a world fit for children. Children from all over the world, in the ages 10 to 18 years, will collaborate during 48 hours. 

Engineers Without Borders Sweden supports the event as a partner with a close connection to Inspire Youth. Inspire Youth is EWB-SWE's initiative to motivate children to higher education, especially in engineering, and to achieve their full potential. We aim to promote engineering as a creative, fun and exciting subject, and to encourage diversity among engineers as a group. Children who want to be part of elaborating on ideas to improve life, both during and after the crisis, are welcome to participate as hackers.
