<< Objectives >>Our project, 404 Youth.exe Missing: Debug and Reboot (YOUTH.EXE), aims to equip 404 young people across five countries with advanced digital skills (reverse engineering, debugging, AI fundamentals) while fostering entrepreneurial mindsets and social inclusion. Through online modules, hackathons, and collaboration, participants learn to innovate responsibly and strengthen Europe’s digital readiness.<< Implementation >>We will deliver online training in reverse engineering, AI, and debugging, complemented by local preparatory workshops. Then, five 3-day hackathons rotate across each partner country, uniting diverse youth to build prototypes. Final multiplier events disseminate achievements and open educational resources, ensuring sustainability and replication beyond the 24-month project<< Results >>We expect 404 digitally empowered youth, five successful hackathons producing 25–30 prototypes, and an open e-learning platform with accessible modules. Partners will integrate advanced digital training into regular activities, bolstering employability and entrepreneurial initiatives. A final policy brief and OER repository ensure long-term adoption of project methodologies
