Millennium Fellowship Project: TechSpark
This project, is all about helping school students grow into safe and smart digital citizens. Today, kids step into the online world very early, but often without the right guidance. That’s where we step in — through interactive workshops, fun games, and real-life examples, we aim to show them how to stay safe, think smart, and use technology with confidence. The idea is simple: not just using technology, but using it wisely and responsibly.
Measurable Goals (August–December 2025)
Reach 150–200 students by conducting 1 session each in 3 schools in Chennai.
Deliver engaging sessions on topics like cyber safety, responsible social media use, digital literacy, and basic coding/tech skills.
Create and share kid-friendly safety guides and posters so students remember what they’i've learned long after the session.
Measure impact through short before-and-after activities, aiming for at least a 60% increase in awareness about online safety.
