Focusing on deep teacher-student interaction, our online Digital Literacy Program combines practical digital skills with the cultivation of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and self-confidence. Students gain hands-on experience in core digital literacy areas, including basic computing, Microsoft Office, and introductory programming, while developing positive, self-disciplined learning habits.
Since 2020, the program has brought high-quality digital education to rural, remote, and underprivileged areas in China, empowering children with the skills and confidence to thrive in the digital world.
