Designathon Works envisions a world where all children are engaged in applying their creativity to design a better world. A designathon is a structured process in which children (aged 7-12 years) invent, build and present their solutions to a social or environmental issue. Through the experience, children expand their knowledge, gain 21st century skills and feel more empowered to take action. This will prepare them to prosper in a rapidly changing, increasing technological and complex world.
Christine Algera is a biologist and author. In her book ‘Stella and Stinky and the plastic soup’, the 8-year-old girl Stella and the talking skunk Stinky travel the world together to ensure that the plastic story ends in a good way. She wrote the book to inspire children and their parents to work together to keep the oceans clean. Merijn Everaarts (founder Dopper) on Christine: “Chistine Algera successfully gets children thinking with the appealing and exciting story of ‘Stella and Stinky and the plastic soup’. It is very nicely written and it is a great tool to tell children about plastic pollution and enthuse them about their potential to turn the tide.”
