SID Challenge

As a part of this initiative, we are pleased to announce a challenge for school students:  Students are required to “Create” a presentation for parents, video record the presentation and post on YouTube.

The title for the presentation is “Make Your Parents Safe Techie“.

Objective

Objective of this challenge is to ignite the skill of research and critical thinking in children. As the child deeply researches digital safety domain, they will understand the importance of digital safety themselves.

The challenge also facilitates more family time, integration with parents and hence increases the self-esteem of the children. This will also enhance the presentation and project management skills of students.
