Amsterdam Designathon Challenge 2020 was a city-wide designathon challenge commissioned by the Public Library of Amsterdam for the second year in a row. During the challenge, more than 300 primary school students took part in the Amsterdam Designathon Challenge with the theme Global Citizenship. They were challenged to come up with technological and innovative solutions to the question: How can we connect all the different citizens of Amsterdam?

Every week one idea has been selected from each participating class, from which one winner was announced. The jury consists of Ilias Admi - former (first) children's mayor of Amsterdam, Emin Kececi - teacher, designer of a better world and co-founder of Masters with Dreams, Sarah Swart - former production coach, now OBA program maker Digital Literacy and Esther Lagendijk - City district administrator Stadsdeel Noord, portfolio social domain.
