On 11 March 2020, days before the [[COVID-19]] lockdown in Belgium, Anthony Liekens founded [[Corona Denktank]], a civil movement that designed and built alternative solutions to lessen the suffering and to reduce the spread of the virus.<ref>{{cite news |last=Van Wynsberghe |first=Elien |date=2020-03-17 |title=Na oproep Lieven Scheire: burgerbeweging verklaart oorlog aan coronavirus |url=https://www.gva.be/cnt/dmf20200317_04892344 |language=NL |work=GVA |location= |access-date=2023-04-21}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=2020-04-01 |title=We hebben een leger nerds opgeroepen |url=https://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20200331_04908701 |language=NL |work=De Standaard |location= |access-date=2023-04-21}}</ref>. Under his leadership, the movement grew to tens of thousands of contributors. After two weeks, Liekens restructured the citizen movement to become a flat organization with a [[do-ocracy]] governance model.

Over its two months of operation, Corona Denktank initiated over 40 projects, most of which spun off into their own independent projects, the most notable include:

* Corona Denktank instigated the distributed production of an estimated 1.8 million homemade facemasks<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Universiteit Antwerpen |title=De Grote Coronastudie |url=https://corona-studie.shinyapps.io/corona-studie/?full=1 |language=NL |location= |access-date=2023-04-21}}</ref> and 50 thousand protective face caps. The [[United Nations]] granted a [[Sustainable Development Goals]] Solidarity Action Award for the design of transparent facemasks for those who are deaf and hard of hearing.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sdgactionawards.org/solidarityaward12/ |title=Transparent masks made for deaf people in Belgium |publisher=United Nations SDG Action Awards |access-date=2023-04-21}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=COVID-19: Transparent masks made for the deaf and hard of hearing in Belgium |url=https://unric.org/en/covid-19-transparent-masks-made-for-the-deaf-and-hard-of-hearing-in-belgium/ |website=United Nations Regional Information Centre for Western Europe |publisher=United Nations |access-date=23 April 2023}}</ref>

* On 17 March 2020, Corona Denktank launched Praatbox, a barrier-free videoconferencing tool without accounts which quickly grew to 40 thousand users per day, mainly introducing school children and elderly people to videoconferencing.<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Corona Denktank |url=https://praatbox.be |title=Praatbox.be |access-date=2023-04-21}}</ref> The Flemish Youth Council recommended Praatbox as the safest standard for videoconferencing for use in juvenile court and social youth services.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.facebook.com/VlaanderenHelemaalDigitaal/posts/pfbid034NQMjvsXmpyMBkarCgDd8FqDrf1jNYvooaVr2qWc7uvhM8UDTRxnqHFKzoT45rpjl |title=Jeugdhulp kiest #Praatbox, een initiatief van @coronadenktank, als veilige standard voor videobellen. |publisher=Vlaanderen Helemaal Digitaal |date=2020-07-13 |access-date=2023-04-21}}</ref>
