competencies needed for the digital age. The role of AI is increasing in terms of addressing
global challenges like climate change and healthcare access. By increasing the curiosity
among young people about digital solutions early on, they can become future innovators and
stay competitive in the job market. It also ensures that the use of AI is ethical, responsible
and it benefits society. This program will bring together participants from different countries
