Millennium Fellowship Project: Community Digital Literacy Program
This project focuses on providing digital literacy to children in my community, with the aim of equipping them with essential computer skills. The target audience includes children from the age of nine and above. The project introduced a new and engaging way of learning and, through the Millennium Fellowship, I partnered with small community schools to help impart basic computer skills to children. Despite the progress made, a major challenge faced by the project is limited resources, as I currently have only one laptop to support all project activities.
