Creation
Welcome to Learn2Win, Connector’s premier arena for innovation and creativity. This platform is designed to elevate your institution’s profile and empower your students with future-defining skills. In an educational landscape that increasingly values applied knowledge and innovation, Learn2Win provides the structured, prestigious arena for your students to translate classroom theory into tangible, award-winning projects.
Curated for O/A levels, this program offers a balanced portfolio of challenges spanning STEM, Humanities, and the Arts—from game development and sustainable design to AI-assisted debate and data storytelling. Each competition is more than a contest; it is a mentored project-based learning journey. We connect your students with global and national experts who provide guidance, ensuring their participation builds not only subject mastery but also critical thinking, collaboration, and digital fluency.
For your school, Learn2Win serves as a powerful extension of the curriculum, enhancing academic rigour and providing measurable outcomes for student portfolios and university applications. It is a turnkey solution that positions your institution as a pioneer in fostering innovation and global competitiveness.
We invite you to explore the upcoming competitions below and register your school’s teams. Partner with us to provide your students with the platform where they don’t just learn to succeed—they Learn2Win.
The following competitions are available for the academic years 2025-2027. The first competition Future Cities begins in late February. Contact Connector to put your school in the competition.
Future Cities
STEM + Social Sciences, Civil Engineering, Environmental Art.
Format: Teams design a model (digital using tools like SketchUp, Minecraft Education, or physical) for a sustainable, equitable neighbourhood. They must submit a proposal covering engineering solutions (water, energy), social infrastructure (community spaces), an economic plan, and an artistic “landmark” design.
Mentorship: Urban planners, architects, environmental engineers, and graphic artists.
Why it works: It’s a holistic project that forces integration of hard science with human-centred design. Perfect for project-based learning portfolios.
The Digital Debater
Humanities, Ethics, Computer Science (AI Literacy), Critical Thinking.
Format: Participants are given a complex modern ethical topic (e.g., “AI in creative arts,” “Gene editing ethics”). They must use an AI tool (like ChatGPT) to research and draft arguments, but then must critically analyse, refine, and present their own position, disclosing how they used the AI. Judged on research depth, critical analysis of AI output, and rhetorical skill
Mentorship: Debate coaches, ethicists, computer science professors.
Why it works: It engages with AI proactively and ethically, a crucial modern skill. It’s a fresh take on traditional debate, appealing to analytically-minded humanities students.
Video Science Explainer
through Video!
STEM + Media Arts, Journalism, Storytelling.
Individuals or teams create short, engaging videos (3-5 mins) explaining a complex STEM concept (e.g., quantum entanglement, CRISPR, climate models) to a public audience. Judged on scientific accuracy, creativity, narrative clarity, and production quality
Mentorship: Science journalists, video producers, educators, and scientists.
Why it works: Taps into the YouTube/TikTok generation’s skills. It demonstrates that understanding a topic deeply enough to teach it is the highest form of mastery.
Data Dashboards for
Humanities
Mathematics (Statistics), History/Sociology, Data Visualization, Coding.
Format: Participants choose a historical event, social trend, or literary corpus. They find or create a dataset and use a tool (like Flourish, Tableau Public, or Python libraries) to build an interactive dashboard that reveals a narrative or insight. The submission includes the dashboard and a written analysis.
Mentorship: Data journalists, historians, statisticians, and UI/UX designers.
Why it works: Makes data science relevant to humanities lovers and shows STEM students the power of data in social context. Creates tangible, portfolio-ready digital artifacts.
Bio-Art & Generative Design
Generate Art!
Biology, Visual Arts, Technology, Ethics.
Format: Two tracks: 1) Digital: Using algorithms (e.g., Processing, p5.js) to create generative art inspired by biological patterns (fibonacci sequences, cellular structures).
Mentorship: Bio-artists, graphic designers, biologists, and creative coders.
Why it works: Sits perfectly at the intersection of art and science. It’s innovative, visually shareable for promotion, and encourages out-of-the-box thinking.
Crisis Management
Hackathon
Political Science, Economics, Computer Modelling, Ethics.
Format: Over a weekend (online), teams are given a complex, fictional geopolitical or economic crisis scenario. Using provided data and guided by mentors, they must research, model potential outcomes, and draft a detailed policy response. They present their strategy to a panel of “judges” acting as the UN or a government cabinet.
Mentorship: Policy analysts, economists, political scientists, and strategy consultants.
Why it works: High-intensity, collaborative, and mimics real-world decision-making. Builds research, teamwork, and public speaking skills under pressure. Highly engaging for students interested in global affairs.
