Digital Braves

Young people are growing up tracked . The digital technology teaching through role play and webmaking , the children to explore the new pressures and implication of digital surveillance using different methods.This two hour session was held in MMU for children and adults.

Since the digital technology is growing and this tracking is inherently linked to our identities as consumers and the uncomfortable choices we make in our daily lives.How the creatives and the opposing consumers perform in the current world. The role of the networking systems available and bring awareness that many times before children reach the age of consent , they already have a complex online footprint.

The goal of the session was to raise an awareness to provide a safe but exciting space to explore these issues and to play with tech in a way that empower us. There was group interactions and drama, using Mozilla's thimble, a tool to  explore learning by remixing html pages in the browser. This serves as a secondary goal to demystify coding and digital production.




Towards the end, children were given chance to remix html pages and made their own advert.
