Millennium Fellowship Project: LeadWave
This project focused on raising awareness among secondary school students (ages 13–16) about the importance of digital skills. We submitted a formal request to the school and successfully conducted a session to highlight how digital literacy can empower them academically and professionally. Moving forward, we plan to organize free virtual classes to teach digital and soft skills, helping students thrive in higher education, develop independence, and prepare for a competitive job market.
