Education
Where dreams are first born
Digital Health Literacy – Education (20-22/10)
Digital Health Literacy is crucial if we need to create a society that will use technology to its benefit, either involving our health or our environment. We want to engage our young people, those that can change how we see technology in our lives. They can inspire society, their parents, their relatives and friends to embrace technology; they can imagine a better world where technology will be part of our wellbeing regardless if that includes medical innovation or living in a smart city that takes care of its citizens.
We’re starting where dreams are first born. With our young people. With Education.
Showcase
The best digital health and wellness educational projects are presented to the public in the Machine-Works Building. Students and their professors show us how inspiration, innovation and creation can flourish at any age.
We have invited private & public schools, medical informatics departments and industrious teachers to showcase their students’ projects in order to inspire visitors, parents and children to follow their lead.
Hackathon
We’re organising a hackathon open to all, including developers, idea-people, youngsters who want to take a shot at creating ideas that can improve our health and wellbeing. Participants have the chance to select medical, smart city, or IoT challenges that affect our health and well-being. We have invited a select number of Municipality officials from around Greece to send in their challenges. Participants choose one challenge they want to tackle and provide a working solution for. Hardware boards, sensors & server space will be provided for the teams to create their ideas.
