As part of Vivita Estonia, I worked on initiatives that bridged design, education, and entrepreneurship to empower children to transform their ideas into tangible solutions.

Vivita Estonia ran the Vista program to encourage children aged 9 to 14 to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset and acquire prototyping and creative problem-solving skills. Through weekly challenges, hands-on workshops, and guidance from expert mentors, participants developed working prototypes of their solutions to real-world problems they cared about, gaining confidence and valuable social and communication skills along the way. Run regularly to complement this program,

The design sprints introduced children to the design thinking process and guided them through fast-paced ideation, iteration, prototyping, testing, and feedback phases.

My involvement in these activities included one-on-one mentoring of children's projects related to mental well-being and creative self-expression, such as a sketchbook on anxiety, a horror game designed to help young people with ADHD, and a drawing app.
