Over the course of seven editions, the Global Junior Challenge has developed a database of 3500 projects out of which 620 best cases were selected. This is an extraordinary body of documents that help us understand how technology that is socially inclusive is changing the world.
Every edition, however, is different. The seventh edition turned into a celebration of changing school, thanks to the enthusiasm and passion of all the participants.
Amongst the many messages that we received, we chose one on Twitter that is especially exciting. Here it is:
