Enhancing digital literacy
and technological
interest for all.
Join our transformative course.
Geneva, Switzerland
By targeting students in Geneva's public schools, the initiative seeks to inspire young minds and stimulate their interest in IT careers.
The core strategy involves organising a discovery day, where selected pupils from public schools will interact with IT training and robotic programs. To enhance the learning experience, the project plans to collaborate with a company, ensuring access to cutting-edge technology and hands-on activities.

"This activity aims to address the pressing shortage of IT specialists in Switzerland, particularly in the canton of Geneva."
Voyage Numérique, also known as Digital Journey, launched early 2024 as part of the Global Shapers Geneva Hub. It focuses on equipping young minds with the essential digital skills increasingly demanded by our society. This program features a series of interactive workshops—referred to as 'stops'—where students delve into robotics and information technology.

As dedicated young leaders within the Global Shaper Community, we recognize the pivotal role that digital literacy plays in empowering individuals and communities in today's technologically-driven world.
Discover our first workshop introducing robotics to children
In this workshop, participants aged 7 to 14 explored robotics, electronics, and programming with mBot2 robots. They learned about sensors, motors, and circuits through hands-on activities, writing their own code and playing with their robots. By the end, attendees had learned about programming and gained valuable insights into technology's role in problem-solving and innovation

Fostering teamwork and collaboration emerged as one pivotal element during our robotics workshop. Encouraging active participation and hands-on activities facilitated smoother communication and also allowed participants to learn from one another, igniting a sense of camaraderie and healthy competition.
