BiblioTech Challenge

Competitions and challenges are a great way to motivate children and young people to get their tech out and make cool stuff. The BiblioTech Challenge is a national technology competition for children and young people. It encourages them to develop technological and innovative ideas on issues and challenges that affect them, their peers, and their community. It also prepares them for the workplace of the future by boosting their digital and online safety skills. Join the Bibliotech Challenge to explore your tech talents.

This competition will engage 8-18-year-old children to brainstorm, generate ideas, and develop technological concepts. They will bring these ideas to life through fun, exciting learning, and pitching.
The applicants will receive orientation and problem-solving experiences through a three-day guided mentoring program. This program helps and encourages children and young people to bring their ideas to life.

In these exciting three days, children and young people will lead and drive the conceptualization of technological ideas in the Bibliotech Challenge. They will be engaged in tech experiences. This builds confidence, grows their knowledge, and develops learning skills and habits.

BiblioTech Challenge’s Goal

To boost and broaden children’s and young people’s interest in technology, we promote innovation, human-centered design, digital goods, and online protection. Children learn from one another to solve problems as a team. A preparatory month will precede the challenge, with dedicated informative sessions aimed at mobilizing as many children as possible. The mobile Bibliotech will reach rural and suburban areas of Tirana. It will inform children, young people, teachers, and parents about the challenge. Tailored social media communication materials will be widely disseminated, promoting the Bibliotech Challenge.

Prizes

The challenge will see 3 first winners as per the following group ages:

1. 1st place for 8-11 years old innovators
2. 1st place for 11-15 years old innovators
3. 1st place for 15-18 years old innovators

The challenge is ultimately designed for children. Therefore, they are expected to come up with the idea and subsequent pitch. The pitches will be judged on factors such as the creativity of the idea and communication of the pitch. Additionally, the problem it solves, value created, and overall quality will be considered.
