School hackathon in Minecraft at Tom Tits
For the fourth year in a row, the regional final of the school hackathon is held at Tom Tits Experiment. During the autumn term, eight school classes from the Stockholm region have explored artificial intelligence to build their dream society. The students are competing to represent the region in the national competition.
The School Hackathon, a collaboration between Tom Tits and Ung Företagsamhet, aims to engage pupils in grades 4-6 in social issues and promote their knowledge of innovation, democracy and entrepreneurship.
Students sketch and build prototypes in cardboard, then create their dream communities inside Minecraft Education. On Wednesday, the students' work will be presented to a jury. Kim Örtenblad, one of the jury members, is looking forward to the event: "The future we are planning for is the reality today's children and young people will live and work in. That's why it's super important to hear how children and young people see the future and I'm really looking forward to seeing all the entries!"

Theme for 2024 - train like an astronaut
In 2024, we at Tom Tits Experiment will leave the earthly realm and instead gaze into the infinite space. More precisely, you will have the opportunity to train like an astronaut. In terms of muscles, heart, and brain, there are several experiments where you can challenge yourself and try out how astronauts train for a space mission. Of course, all our 400 experiments remain in the building for those who want to explore other things else as well! Inspiration has been taken from Mission X.
