A4R 🎨 Monthly - a GenZ co creation.
Ciao beautiful people,
How was your month? Here we have some great news for you and some interesting news for you. So, which first? Em… lets start with the interesting news. We are organising a hackathon with High Schools in the US. They will be co creating the next version of our quiz with us.
Just to highlight what a hackathon is. It is a social event where techy/ coders come together to improve existing software or develop new versions. In our case these GenZ’s will working on the next version of the arty refugees quiz. The idea is that they will collaborate with the GenZ’s from Lebanon to come up with the next version.

Our student journalist have been researching and gathering information on arty refugees from 1920’s onwards. So, over the last two years or so they have gathered well over 50 refugees who have made our lives beautiful after they were forced to flee their homes. Yes, these are the same people we highlight in our podcasts.
We would like to thank our Code Brave Team of GenZ coders for helping us convert all the information into the quiz. We look forward to working with them on taking it to next level with your feedback.
