48 hours of creativity that kicked off with a robotics workshop for children, led by first-year Master's students at Digital Campus Lyon.

A special KIDS Hackathon was organised with the first-year Master's students.

Because teaching as many children as possible to be active participants in technology is an educational challenge, Digital Campus Lyon partnered with the start-up Digit'owl: a nomadic school that teaches digital culture, coding, and robotics in an engaging way to all pupils aged 5 to 17!

The hackathon's objective: develop a 360-degree web project as a team to stimulate student creativity and harness collective intelligence. An immersion into the world of #Edtech #Slowtech #ChangeMakers using tools developed by the #MIT.
