WHY COOLEST PROJECTS IS SO COOL!

Each project will be featured in the Coolest Projects online gallery for the whole world to see. Plus, there’ll be a livestream celebration in June where special judges will select their favourite entries.

LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION?

Last year over 2500 young people took part from more than 35 countries. Wow!

Past projects have included an electric ukulele made out of cardboard and tin foil, an AI rubbish bin, and a side-scrolling platformer made in Scratch.
