EcoHack
Tuesday 9th of May
10:00–16:00
Event for 12-16-year-old students
What is the purpose of this event?
EcoHack is a half-a-day event hosted by the International School of Tallinn and designed to challenge students to develop innovative ideas to tackle environmental issues.
Why is the event necessary?
It’s a perfect chance for youngsters to hack their brains for a greener and better environment for all of us. They’ll team up with other students to develop new innovative solutions that could solve environmental issues. It’s an event to inspire them to think about the future from an ecological and sustainable perspective and determine how everyone can impact their surroundings.
Who should attend?
English-speaking students from the age of 12 to 16 from all the schools in Tallinn.
How does it work?
The students are divided into groups where they will focus on on sustainability challenges presented by the mentors.
Each group formed in the hackathon is expected to present a well-developed idea by the end of the day. The presentations should include a description of the proposed solution, a development timeline, budget and financing options.
