#DigiEduHack 🌊 Make Waves for Clean Lakes!

Join the Digital Waves for Clean Lakes challenge at DigiEduHack 2025 – a 100% online hackathon where creativity meets environmental action.

Lakes are among the most valuable ecosystems in Europe, providing biodiversity, freshwater, recreation, and climate regulation. Yet, they face growing threats from pollution, climate change, and unsustainable use. Protecting them requires not only science and policy, but also citizen awareness and digital literacy. This activity is part of the ProCleanLakes project (https://procleanlakes.eu/), which supports innovative approaches to lake protection and restoration through citizen engagement and digital tools.

In this challenge, teams of solvers (made by students, innovators, digital education enthusiasts, representatives of NGOs focused on environment protection etc.) are invited to design a visual mock-up for a mobile or web app that raises awareness and educates different audiences about natural lake protection and restoration. The app should make scientific knowledge engaging and accessible, helping people understand the value of lakes and how everyday actions can support their restoration.

Your mock-up could feature elements such as interactive quizzes, gamified missions, biodiversity storytelling. The focus is not on coding the app, but on showing how a digital solution could look and work to inspire learning, action, and community participation.

💡 Design a visual mock-up of a digital tool (web/app) to inspire and educate people on protecting freshwater lakes. No coding required!
