In the journey towards a tech-empowered
future, mastering digital tools is imperative, said Legislative Council
member Yang Berhormat Chong Chin Yee during the International Women’s
Day – Impact the Future event at the Ministry of Transport and
Infocommunications recently.
The event, co-hosted by Google Developer
Group Brunei and Women Techmakers Brunei, showcased the launch of
DigiThink, an initiative aiming to boost digital literacy in Southeast
Asia. Project lead Sarinah Ziziumiza said the tools DigiThink offers,
such as Digital Journeys: The Adventure of Digital Citizenship augmented
reality book and the DigiMinds e-learning platform, are designed to
make learning more interactive and engaging.
DigiThink, embedded in the Young Southeast
Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Decade of Impact, complements the
YSEALI Seeds for the Future programme through the creation of Digiverse,
a project dedicated to enhancing digital literacy among younger
generations.
DigiThink’s launch, aligned with the goals
of YSEALI and International Women’s Day, set the stage for an
educational transformation, empowering individuals with the digital
literacy necessary for success in a technology-driven era.
