Children are concerned about the state of our environment and are rising-up to fight for our planet. At Designathon Works we have known and harboured this concern for years, making it our purpose to provide the tools children need to create a better future for themselves and for our planet.

We know you have seen the protests in the news, we know you feel proud, you might ask yourself “how can I help as an adult”. For us the answer to this question is simple. We need to empower the next generation to be the changemakers the planet needs. With the support of partners such as Patagonia and SingularityU we allow children to (re)design their own future using new technologies. We believe future ready education and opportunity for expression are the way to prepare our next generation for what’s to come. And you can be a part of that.
