Inspired by children and their capacity to imagine better futures, social designer and educator, Emer Beamer, founded Designathon Works in 2014 in Amsterdam, NL. What began as a one-day designathon in one city has expanded into over 55 cities and regions worldwide with multiple designathons taking place each year. Designathon Works is powered by an incredible network of people who believe in preparing the world’s nearly 2 billion children to prosper in a rapidly changing and increasingly technological world. 

 

From teachers to parents, to concerned policy-makers and contributing organizations, we’re on a mission to enable children to design a better world for themselves and for the planet.
