Kids are given an opportunity to imagine and design the city of the future they would like to live in. The city changes constantly as they get introduced to new technologies and learn to act as a team. The course introduces them to urban development concepts like governance and sustainability. They have to come up with solutions by creating a scaled down model with laser cutting, 3D printing and programmable microcontrollers. While building the city they are seeking answers for the challenges of the future they will soon experience.

Maker's Red Box believes that maker pedagogy has the power to transform education and bridge the gap between education and the labour market. They started in 2015 as a small group of professionals with the common conviction that makerspaces are the key to the future of education. They are places where children gain relevant skills and find their strengths. Since then they have grown to a team of 16 engineers, teachers, maker educators, gamification experts, and innovators; all devoted to the mission of bringing maker education to as many kids as possible.
