EduWell Hackathon
"EduWell Hackathon" will be a one-day intensive event aimed at promoting wellbeing in digital education through creativity and collaboration. The event will involve 5 teachers, as mentors to guide student teams, who will first receive training to become mentors.
Students aged 8–15 will be divided into two age groups, each with a tailored challenge focused on digital wellbeing. They will participate in a 2-hour workshop where they will receive the challenge topic and work in small teams to develop tech-based solutions—such as apps, websites, interactive posters, or Micro:bit devices—that support emotional and mental wellbeing in educational settings.
While students work on their projects under the guidance of mentors, parallel training sessions will be held for the remaining teachers, enhancing their skills in technology and student wellbeing support.
The hackathon will create a dynamic and inclusive space where both students and educators will learn, innovate, and collaborate. By empowering youth to build thoughtful, tech-driven solutions and equipping teachers with updated skills, EduWell Hackathon will foster a healthier, more supportive digital learning environment.
The address for this onsite event is: L. 8, Rr. Sule Demneri, Nr.29, Durres, Albania
