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. Teacher, Vasile Alecsandri Secondary School, Roman, Neamt 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. Teacher, Sf. Dumitru Secondary School, Craiova, Dolj 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. Teacher, Secondary School No. 2, Anghel Saligny High School Structure, Cernavoda, Constanta 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. Student, Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies (ASE) 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. Student, University of Bucharest The Skills for the Future project has evolved steadily from one year to the next, with each edition bringing significant improvements. The first two editions were a real success, as evidenced by both the students’ interest and the practical impact of the activities. Based on the feedback received, the project was expanded, the content became richer, and the team of volunteers included additional roles to strengthen the practical component. I have great confidence in the creativity and potential of high school students to carry this success forward, and I wish them much inspiration and excellent results in this new edition.
