CHALLENGE THEME
Tech for better tomorrow

Technology can help solve big problems and make the world a better place for everyone. In this challenge you are invited to come up with creative ideas that use technology to help people, protect the environment, or make life easier and fairer for all.
The goal is to use your imagination and tech skills to create something that makes a positive difference. Think about how you can help others, make things more accessible, or solve real life problems in new ways.
What we ask you to do :​
-
Find a problem to solve:
Look around you and pick a problem that you think technology can help with. It could be about saving the environment, making learning easier, helping people stay healthy, or making sure everyone can use technology.​
​
-
Create a tech solution
Work on an idea for a tool, app, website, or gadget that uses technology (like computers, AI or software) to solve the problem you chose. Try to make your idea unique or something that could really work in real life.
​
-
Think about fairness and safety
Make sure your solution is safe, fair and easy for everyone to use. Think about how to protect people's privacy, including different languages, and make it simple for people who may not have the latest devices.
