'Empowering children to create a better world'The Designathon Works foundation envisions a world where children are engaged in co-designing their future world and have the skills to prosper in it. This vision is achieved by spreading a unique educational method that places the child at its heart and is based on design thinking and children's natural interest in technology. The Designathon method asks children to help shape a better world by finding solutions to real-world problems.By 2023 the target is to train 5,500 teachers and 1 million children as global changemakers. Additionally, the method is spread through tailor-made Designathon workshops for businesses and organizations and our annual event: the Global Children's Designathon.Designathon Works has worked with over 90,000 children located in 45 countries worldwide, including for example South Africa, Dubai, Canada, India and Spain.Awards:2020 - HundrED.org & LEGO foundation Creativity Spotlight, for inspiring education innovation fostering creativity in education2018 - HundrED.org Sustainability Spotlight, for sustainability education innovations2018 - Ashoka Austria, Education without Border program2017 - EXPO 2020, Global Innovator, World Expo 2020, Dubai2016 - Ashoka Fellowship and LEGO Foundation Re-imagining Learning
