My experience in the Skills Upload Jr Challenge competition exceeded my expectations. I learned
how to work better as part of a team and improved my digital skills. The professionalism of the
organisers also helped me overcome my initial emotions and ensured the smooth running of the
competition. I really liked the venue where the final took place, as it was beyond my expectations.

During the Skills Upload Jr Challenge I particularly appreciated the mentoring activities and all the
support provided throughout the different stages of the competition. It was a constructive experience
during which teams, ideas, and friendships were developed. Competitions like this should continue,
as they provide young people with a space to express their creativity in all its forms.

We completed the Digital Footprint activity with my sixth-grade students as part of The School of
the Future is Coming to JA Schools project. From my perspective as a teacher, I can say that the
material is very well structured and easy to follow, while the information is clearly presented and
accessible to students. The time allocated for accessing the materials was sufficient. The students
enjoyed the presentation style and the interactivity of the platform, and they found the information
easy to understand and relevant to them.

As part of The School of the Future is Coming to JA Schools project, the students worked in
groups to discover how artificial intelligence can learn on its own to identify different species of
aliens and help them return to their planet. At the end of the activity, each student created a book
featuring their own version of an alien, deciding which planet it would belong to.

It was an intense challenge within the HP LIFE project that forced us to step outside our comfort
zone and find sustainable solutions in record time. We learned how important it is to use resources
efficiently and how to integrate digital innovation into the daily life of a community.

Participating in this Innovation Camp - HP LIFE project gave me a practical perspective on how
technology can solve real social problems. Collaborating with business mentors was essential for
structuring our idea and understanding how to turn a concept into a viable action plan.
