Teens will be encouraged to imagine sustainable futures and then start to build them — whether designing and engineering green cities in sandbox games or creating their own apps to educate about climate change.
A qualified instructor will lead the class, teaching kids fundamentals, encouraging their brainstorms and giving them practical tools to realize their visions on their own.
The class is suitable for beginning coders as well as those with more experience. It is appropriate for youth aged 15–19, though older youth are more than welcome to attend!
This exciting one-off class is in line with the theme of International Youth Day 2024: “From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for a Sustainable Future,” and several of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs), including sustainable cities and communities, climate action and quality education.
In addition to encouraging teens’ love of coding, programming and engineering, the class will get them to think about how to link up their problem-solving skills and creativity with their peers around the world in order to envision a sustainable future and make it happen together.
