On November 23rd, the Digital Literacy Project (DLP), a student-led organization from Saint John's High School, hosted its inaugural workshop for  ISW Humrahee. It was attendend by over 70 seniors participating in an engaging and interactive session aimed at enhancing their digital skills and become more comfortable with technology, an increasingly essential part of everyday life. Participants were guided through practical tips and tools to improve their digital literacy, from basic device usage to online safety and communication skills. 

One of the highlights of the workshop was its highly interactive format. The session featured quizzes and live Q&A segments, which kept the seniors engaged and actively involved throughout. The quizzes were designed to test their understanding of the concepts presented and provide instant feedback, while the Q&A allowed attendees to ask specific questions about their personal experiences with technology. This format encouraged a two-way dialogue, making the event not only informative but also enjoyable for all participants.

 Many seniors had specific concerns or queries about their devices, whether it was how to use certain apps, troubleshoot common issues, storage concerns or stay safe online.  They appreciated the practical knowledge they gained, particularly about how technology can help them stay connected with loved ones, access essential services, and pursue new hobbies. Several attendees mentioned how the session demystified aspects of technology they had previously found intimidating.

The Digital Literacy Project is led by passionate students from Saint John's High School, with Ayan Mishra serving as CEO, Aadi Jaganathan as COO, and David Wang as President of Event Coordination. For more information on upcoming workshops , contact humrahee@online.org
