Digital Skills for Disadvantaged Children in China

As the summer semester has come to an end, we are delighted to share that our Digital Literacy Program continues to grow in 2026, helping disadvantaged students across China develop essential 21st-century skills.

From January to September 2026, our Digital Literacy Program reached more than 1,100 disadvantaged students in Shanghai and Fujian and, through online programming, across more than a dozen provinces and municipalities, including Jiangsu, Henan, Sichuan, Gansu, Guangdong, Yunnan, Tianjin, Anhui, Beijing, Hubei, and Hunan. During this period, we recruited and trained more than 120 volunteers, who collectively delivered over 600 online and offline lessons.

Over recent years, we have continued to strengthen and expand an innovative curriculum designed to equip students with essential 21st-century skills. Our courses now cover STEM education, coding, text-based programming including C++ and Java, robotics with LEGO Spike, 3D printing, internet safety, online research, and artificial intelligence.

We are preparing to welcome more than 750 students for the fall 2026 semester and are currently recruiting volunteers to support our programs. This includes a volunteering tour to one of our partner schools in rural Henan.

These accomplishments are only possible thanks to the dedication and generosity of our volunteers, donors, and supporters. Your continued support enables us to expand access to meaningful educational opportunities for under-served children across China, helping them build the digital skills and confidence they need to thrive in an increasingly complex world.
