October is a great month for El Desafío, as we are launching the 2nd edition of the Happy Cities Festival, where we invite the whole community to discuss on what makes the city a happy place for all of us. During that festival, our kids will be inviting adults to play throughout the day, participate in all of the talks and then give back a presentation to the general audience, as well as the City Mayor and the head of the local University on their vision of how adults include them- or not- in city planning.
The Festival will also have lots of personalities talking about urbanism, mobility, sports for development and youth development – such as Guillermo Peñalosa, Cecilia Carranza Saroli, Edgardo Bauza and many others.
Going back to what happened since our last report, the coding program has been running great, with lots of enthusiasm from participants, and many great creations with MIT app inventor – cool for everyone’s smartphones. Also, in August we had an internal festival for participant’s families to see what had happened during the first part of the year as well as to show everyone cool stuff – in terms of coding - to play a game using augmented reality.
Please follow us on Facebook, Twitter and don´t hesitate to contact us if you have any doubts or comments.
