Tous les participants ajoutent leurs idées, inspirées par des événements virtuels organisés dans le monde entier par des organisateurs locaux dans chaque ville. La ville qui aura le plus d'idées recevra le prix de la ville la plus créative.
The competition could be for kids between 6-18 years old. Future generation will be benefitted from this idea. It should be a win-win situation for companies that desperately need employees with creativity as well. Of course, society will thrive by having people with critical thinking who can identify the important problems the world currently faces and getting to know the tools available to solve them.

Organizing international robotic competitions that promote sustainability awareness. We focus on teaching diverging thinking through brainstorming, which currently schools do not address, but it is a critical and necessary skill that companies nowadays seek.
Those competitions should be low budget and the material resources could possibly be a few in the BIC products range for upcycling purposes. Imagine a competition of creating the rocket that travels the most distance, by utilizing an old BIC pen and other easy-to-find resources like a plastic bottle or paper.
Another competition idea could be providing solutions to covid-19 problem. Kids should learn that they can affect the current situation, tackle a few problems, provide solutions and help. Let's create a 2 dollar device for sterilizing masks used in school. We only need UV Leds, a battery and lots of imagination.
Synergy of schools across the globe could also be utilized, using communication tools. In that way we promote a digital classroom, in which children can interact with each other from different countries, sharing ideas and experience, learning from each other and build a personality that is supportive to different cultures.
