First Annual Futuraskolan Entrepreneurship Fair 2023
On Friday, March 31st, our first Annual Futuraskolan Entrepreneurship Fair took place at LSK Hallen in Lidingö.
Our Entrepreneurship program was created to encourage and promote creativity, curiosity and the desire to try new ideas and solve problems. This fair showcased our young student entrepreneurs from Futuraskolan International Kottla (Grade 9) and Rådan (Grade 8) whom have worked together in teams. They have taken initiative and responsibility to develop fantastic projects. These students are already making a positive impact in the world through their creativity and innovative ideas.
These young visionaries are an inspiration and our next generation of entrepreneurs aspiring to create global change. Their ideas offering bridges of justice and equality and new technological solutions and models. These entrepreneurs truly want to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
We saw great concepts and designs with well thought out designs and logos complementing their world-changing ideas.
Well Done Futuraskolan Kottla and Rådan students, we are proud of you!
Be inspired with the video below where our students show off their hard work and creativity at the fair!

“Sweden is internationally recognised for its technology-driven start-up scene – and the education system plays a crucial part in making it possible. Schoolchildren today aren’t just asking themselves which jobs might suit them; many are actively exploring how to turn their entrepreneurial ideas into reality.”

Every year Code.org runs Hour of Code. As the name suggests it’s based on offering 1 hour coding tutorials in over 45 languages with no experience necessary.
Throughout Futuraskolan we have participated in the event, giving our learners the opportunity to explore computer science in a fun and interactive way. The aim has been to spark interest in coding and programming for those who may not usually gravitate to this area of learning. Here are some of the highlights.
Futuraskolan Stockholm – Sheetal “Grade 7_Hour of Code_Our students proudly completed an hour of coding with 100 million students 😀 Computer Science Education is becoming the backbone of our society 💻👨💻👩💻💻 Don’t just play on your phone, program it😉 ”
Futurakolan International – Have been working through various activities supplied by code.org: Minecraft Voyage Aquatic Block Coding, Minecraft Heros Journey, Dance Party and more. Certificates were awarded to mark the occasion
Futuraskolan Gåshaga – Grades 1 to 3 have used ‘CodeSpark Academy’. “The students are absolutely obsessed with it, I even got messages from parents saying their kids are asking them to use it at home too!”
Futuraskolan Rådan – have been using Tynker to explore block programming and pixel based digital creations.
Futuraskolan Bergtorp – During our mathmatics lessons the students were assigned to do these tasks. Here comes a student’s solution to calculating perimeter and area.
Gåshaga preschool – Using dash to create music through patterns and colour.
Futuraskolan Preschool Brunbärsvägen – Sasa “We continued with “coding tasks”, learning about patterns and algorithms. This is a set of instructions given to a computer to perform a task. We use algorithms every day when we get dressed, brush our teeth, etc. We practised with patterns that the children had to finish and after this activity a second group worked with the robot.”
“I want our students to walk away with an understanding that we have an internal responsibility to do something good,” says Kosma Smiechowski, Head of the Global Citizenship Program (GCP) at Futuraskolan International.
“Engaging students in the process of giving to others, without reward or recognition, is the focus of the program,” says the school’s CEO, Tom Callahan.
