Thought the use of Gamification it brings added strengths to the achievement of the objective to encourage and promote the European dimensions in schools thorough the Involvement of students and teachers from different European countries, creating occasions for discussion and exchange. This activity gives partners, students, schools and teachers the possibility to meet and create networks, to work together and learn from each other, by strengthening not only the European dimension of the organizations involved but also the feeling of the European belonging. The International European Hackathon is a possibility for girls to participate in an European dimension for realizing their designed STEAM projects and for increasing their confidence. These are the reason why Partners have chose to set up the International European Hackathon in a new form: less competition, more sharing and collaboration, convinced that this is the key to change in teaching of Steam disciplines.
