- The promotion of environmental sustainability, strengthening environmental awareness and green practices at local, national, European, and international levels.
Frederick University’s “FUF Racing Team”
The team “FUF Racing Team” was created by students and professors of Frederick University and is engaged in the construction and development of a single-seater Formula 1 racing car. Every year the team participates in the world competition “Formula Student” which is a top student competition. The main goal of the racing team is the creation and development of an autonomous team with solid scientific and technological bases, which will result in the construction and continuous optimization of the single-seater racing car. The participation of university students in this institution allows them to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice as well as information that they will need in their future careers as professional scientists.
Cyprus Youth Council
The Cyprus Youth Council was founded in 1996 as a non-governmental, non-profit organization. It aims to promote dialogue and cooperation between young people in Cyprus and to connect them with youth in Europe and worldwide. The Cyprus Youth Council is in continuous cooperation with the European Youth Forum. Areas of interest, always about youth, include human rights and equality, employment, and social issues, active citizenship and lifelong learning, non-formal education, and youth policies.’
Citizens in Power
The NGO C.I.P Citizens in Power deals with interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches in the fields of global education, social innovation, entrepreneurship, STEM sciences, and sustainable development. The activities that will be presented at the event are part of the wide educational materials that we develop through European programs. From the CodER project, the escape room activity is based on the story of Carol Shaw, the first female professional video game designer, where participants are asked to work together to escape through a series of coding and microprocessor-based challenges. Our second activity, from the Numeric[All] and SMEM projects, is based on math exhibits that let the audience experiment with various math problems in the form of objects, collaboration and discussion are key to a fun experience.
Cyprus College – Makerspace Technology Center
The CYC Makerspace is an innovative technology space open to high school students, researchers, students, and College faculty. It has cutting-edge machines, such as 3D printers, 3D scanners, CNC Carving, Laser cutting/engraving, virtual reality devices, and microprocessors.

In the interactive game 5-Place, the player is asked to build a network of smart sensors to monitor the quality of drinking water and quickly identify problems in the water supply network of Limassol. The players’ mission is to place up to 5 smart electronic sensors in the network within 2 minutes. Their goal is:
- Cover as many water supply points as they can.
- Reduce the time it takes for sensors to detect a water quality problem.
Through this game, players will be able to solve a real multi-criteria optimization problem.
Pascal Space Station
Meet Einstein, the first AI ChatGPT robot developed by PASCAL Larnaca private school. The project was started to create a robot that can interact with humans using advanced AI technology. Einstein is powered by ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art natural language processing artificial intelligence model developed by OpenAI that allows it to understand and respond to human speech. It can perform several functions such as playing music, setting alarms, and answering questions. The robot is equipped with a Raspberry Pi, camera, microphone, and speaker, which detect human presence and facilitate communication. The project helped students overcome any fears they may have had about AI by dispelling common misconceptions about AI. While Einstein was able to perform impressively in completing tasks, there were still limitations and opportunities for improvement. Overall, this project provided a great opportunity for students to learn and develop new skills while creating a useful and impressive AI robot.
Introducing our innovative new app Audito, designed to enable people with speech impairments to communicate more easily and effectively!
With our app, people with speech impairments can create custom QR codes that can be scanned by the camera to play pre-recorded audio of commonly used phrases and messages. This allows them to easily communicate with others without needing sign language or writing everything by hand. Our app also allows users to easily create new custom phrases and messages so they are always in control of their communication needs. In addition, with our easy-to-use interface and intuitive design, our app is accessible to everyone, regardless of technical expertise. With our app, we help break down communication barriers and empower people with speech impairments to confidently express themselves and communicate with the world around them.
