Next Steps
Start with a commitment to doing an Digital Skills Fellowship with your students by registering your event. When you register, you’ll receive helpful emails with news and tips for hosting a successful Digital Skills Fellowship. You’ll also be put on the map. The visible totality of our collective efforts demonstrates the global commitment to the digital literacy and inclusion, which will help us build momentum for impact.
Choose which from the various skills, computer basics, coding, design, cyber security, website development, AI amongst others.
First, explore several of digital skills activities and choose one based on your group’s age, experience, interests and more. These select activities feature digital skills as a key topic or lesson.
Students can watch short videos featuring experts in the field, and there are accompanying lesson plans to extend the activity and guide further discussion. Or, we offer free professional learning for educators to unlock the future of teaching.
What: Before your event, try out the different materials and projects yourself so you can ensure they work on student devices and you’re prepared to answer questions! Have low intenet access? Plan to show videos at the front of the class, or project slides or print out worksheets and learning guides.
When: Choose a suitable duration depending on your audience, either 1 day (30 minutes – 3 hours), 2 weeks, or 4 weeks long fellowships, materials are available for all durations.
Where: Choose a space that works for the number of students and devices you have available. Students can try activities on individual devices, take turns sharing a device, or as a class on a projected screen or even without any devices. There are even activities that can be completed with no devices at all, so they can even be done outside!

Help us spread the word in your community with these email templates.
Direct your students to the activity, maybe by sharing the slides on the board or through your classroom’s learning management system. Your students may encounter challenges—that’s okay! Learning a digital skill is like learning a new language; you won’t be fluent right away. If you don’t know the answer, you can figure it out together.
After your event, print certificates of completion and congratulate your students. Share photos and videos of your Digital Skills Fellowship event and show off your students’ achievements using #tckzonedigitalskillsfellowship and @tckzone.
It doesn’t end here!
