Bericht van Bianca Debaets, Staatssecretaris voor Digitalisering

Geachte mevrouw, geachte heer,

Graag nodig ik u uit voor het event “Brussels Smart City for Education: leren en kennis delen in het digitale tijdperk”, dat past in een reeks evenementen geïnitieerd door het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest rond het project Brussels Smart City.

Student Workshop & Creathon Offering

On 1 February the first short Benelux student workshop & creathon was organized at the Cisco Premises in Amsterdam. BiASC were part of the organization and learned that student creathons are an attractive opportunity for Belgian schools, starting at the secondary level of education.

Belgian Schools have the opportunity to attend a Student Workshop & Creathon organized by Cisco, BiASC and NASC.

A creathon is a workshop where student teams develop creative ideas using internet of things and other technologies.
