Designathon Works on CNN 'What's the Big Idea?'
We see children as changemakers—engaged citizens, activists, scientists and inventors. Our methodology, lesson materials and network offer a pathway for children to further develop their capacity to take action for a world they want.

Our mission to reach 1 million children worldwide is supported by a committed global network of partners
Global Challenges, Local Solutions
Each designathon topic is related to its participants’ specific context, and is also nested within a bigger global challenge linked to one of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, such as water scarcity, poverty, deforestation, or citizenship.
