Ever thought about turning your voice into a musical instrument? Or making your sunset photos even more epic than the actual vacation? Or maybe you’d like to explore Big Data in a way that is fun and creative? You’re in the right place. Welcome to the sunny side of computer science!

Media Computation is about using pictures, music, text, and videos to create exciting, beautiful, and unique projects. While making cool things, you will also learn programming skills and how to work with large sets of data.

And the best part? The same tricks you’ll use to edit, remix, and generate media can also be applied to other real-world data, like environmental information, to uncover patterns and insights.

Join us to explore the world of data.

We all use gesture recognition every day, often without even noticing it. From waving our hands and swiping across our phones to zooming in on a picture with two fingers, these small moves have become natural to us.

In this workshop, we will take single-stroke gestures and turn them into something even more exciting. Using AI in creative ways, you will bring your own stories to life with animations. This is your chance to combine coding, creativity, and a touch of magic from the technology you use every day.

Drying food with sunlight is one of the oldest methods of preservation. But there are many more ways to use the sun’s heat to make food last than simply placing it in the sun and waiting. In this live session, you will discover different types of solar dryers and learn how to build one yourself.

Have you met the Pinkies?

They’re the volunteers who keep Kandersteg International Scout Centre running, and have been for more than 100 years! Thanks to them, every Scout and guest can experience the spirit of the Permanent Mini Jamboree.

Join this live session to meet some of the Pinkies, hear where they come from, what life in the Swiss Alps is like, and get a glimpse into their daily adventures at the World Scout Centre.

Join us for Digitalise Youth Café, where Scouts from around the world connect to discuss the importance of digital skills, promote civic tech solutions and create awareness about online civic engagement among young people.

During this 1-hour session, you’ll meet peers from different countries, discover knowledge and tools to navigate the digital ecosystem, protect yourselves from surveillance, and fight against disinformation. The session will also bring together trained national peer educators to share their experiences, lessons and plans.

This activity is part of the Digitalise Youth Project, powered by Digital Democracy Initiative, which aims to address the shrinking civic space and rampant disinformation in the Sahel and neighbouring regions, by empowering local youth and civil society organisations.

Whether you’re joining from a radio station or your living room with internet access – this is your chance to be heard!
