Our #GlobalDesignathon participants at @WWFSouthAfrica bringing their ideas to life. We cant wait to see what the future holds for us😁
It's time to start making the prototypes. They'll use this, microbits & reusable material to bring their ideas to life.
Given the ideas in the room, we're all looking forward to seeing these solutions for #ClimateChange & #FoodSecurity @WWFSouthAfrica

That’s a wrap for the South African leg of The Global Children’s Designathon 2018. Microsoft is proud to have hosted this event and to empower the youth to achieve more. #globaldesignathon #GCD2018 #changemakers
Once the #LifeOnLand prototypes are done, it's time to present to an audience.
#Confidence goes a long way.
#StoryTelling makes it easier for the audience to relate.
#GCD2018
Our adjudicators have the toughest task - deciding on the best solution & presentation - not an enviable task.
After seeing almost a dozen solutions for #LifeOnLand they had to decide.
At the end of the day the #GlobalChildrensDesignsthon is all about letting the kids design their future addressing #SDG
It takes a village - 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
