We’re deeply grateful to every organisation that submitted their idea and joined us in empowering young people through digital education.

Today, we’re excited to introduce three inspiring projects that show how technology can open doors, amplify voices, and connect communities.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Fightthestroke Foundation (Italy)
Supporting young stroke survivors and children with Cerebral Palsy, Fightthestroke Foundation proves that technology can be a tool for inclusion.
Their Cerebral Ballsy Promptathon invites participants aged 8–24 to explore how AI and creative prompts can amplify their voices and help them defend their rights.
A perfect example of how coding and compassion can go hand in hand.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ “AS” Association (Poland)
With their project “AsperTech: Coding Differently”, this Polish NGO creates a safe space for young people on the autism spectrum to learn programming.
What makes their approach so special?
๐Ÿ”น Workshops tailored to neurodiverse learners
๐Ÿ”น Focus on creativity, teamwork, and confidence
๐Ÿ”น Mentors with lived experience guiding every step
Because technology should be for everyone. 

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ Voluntechies (Spain)
Voluntechies brings virtual reality and creative coding to those who need it most — from hospitalized children to seniors and people with disabilities.
Through immersive VR journeys, participants can swim with dolphins, walk through forests, or climb the Himalayas — while learning how to build their own VR glasses!
With their new TuringLab initiative, they’re expanding their impact by teaching coding and digital skills to young students across Spain.
Empowering the next generation of changemakers — one VR headset at a time.
