DIGITAL LITERACY
Digital Literacy Programmes
for Children in Singapore
Understand technology. Create with it. Navigate it with confidence.
Explorer Junior designs Digital Literacy programmes that help children understand how technology works, use digital tools to create, and develop the judgement to navigate AI and digital environments with confidence.
WHAT IS DIGITAL LITERACY?
More than knowing how to use technology
Digital literacy is about helping children understand the technology around them, use digital tools to express ideas and solve problems, and make thoughtful decisions when navigating digital environments.
As technology and AI become part of everyday life, children need more than technical skills. They also need the curiosity to understand, confidence to create and judgement to decide how technology should be used.
01
UNDERSTAND
Make sense of technology
Explore how coding, AI and digital technologies work so children can move beyond simply using technology to understanding what it can and cannot do.
02
CREATE
Use technology with purpose
Use coding, digital tools and emerging technologies to develop ideas, solve problems and create things that matter.
03
NAVIGATE
Make thoughtful digital choices
Build the judgement to question information, recognise risks and make more informed choices when using AI and navigating digital environments.
DIGITAL LITERACY IN PRACTICE
What children explore
Digital literacy develops through different technologies, questions and experiences. Our programmes help children build understanding and confidence across four connected areas.
Understand how technology works
Children explore how coding, AI and digital technologies work; including what they can do, where they have limitations and why human judgement still matters.
Turn ideas into something that works
Children use coding and digital tools to create, experiment and solve problems, developing confidence as active creators rather than passive users of technology.
Question before accepting
Children learn to consider where information comes from, recognise that digital and AI-generated content may not always be accurate, and make more thoughtful decisions about what to trust.
Navigate digital life with confidence
Children and families explore how to make safer and more responsible choices across gaming, online communication and other digital environments - from recognising risks and managing online interactions to building healthier digital habits.
LEARNING WITH TECHNOLOGY
How children explore
Technology can help children explore ideas, create and solve problems. Our approach keeps children actively involved in the thinking; deciding what they want to achieve, using technology purposefully, and considering the results before deciding what comes next.
Begin with your own thinking
Start with a question, idea or goal. Children consider what they want to understand, create or accomplish before reaching for a digital tool.
Let technology help
Use coding, AI and digital tools purposefully to explore possibilities, test ideas and create, while understanding what the technology can and cannot do.
Make the final judgement
Consider what the technology produces. Children decide what is useful, what needs changing and what they should do next.
DIGITAL LITERACY IN PRACTICE
Digital Literacy in Different Contexts
Digital Literacy can look different depending on what children and families need to understand, create or navigate. Here are examples of how these ideas take shape across schools, community programmes and family learning.
CORPORATE CSR PROGRAMME
Building Digital Skills Through a Community Programme
A corporate community-impact initiative brought digital creation together with sustainability and hands-on STEM in a repeatable learning programme for children.
SCHOOL PROGRAMME
Applying AI Vision to a Sea Patrol Challenge
Students explored coding and AI vision through a challenge connected to their NCC (Sea) context, using technology to investigate how an AI-enabled system could support a real task.
FAMILY DIGITAL LITERACY
Helping Families Navigate Gaming Together
Parent and family learning around platforms such as Roblox helps adults better understand children's gaming experiences, online interactions and the practical choices families can make around safer, healthier digital use.
DESIGNED FOR DIFFERENT CONTEXTS
Digital Literacy Across Schools, Communities and Families
Digital Literacy programmes can be shaped around different ages, audiences and objectives — from school learning and community initiatives to corporate programmes and family education.
Build confident and thoughtful technology users
Support digital learning through workshops, enrichment and longer programmes covering areas such as coding, AI literacy, digital creation and responsible technology use.
Make digital literacy accessible
Create learning experiences that help children and families build practical knowledge around technology, online safety, AI and navigating an increasingly digital world.
Turn digital priorities into community learning
Translate digital inclusion, AI literacy, online safety and community-impact objectives into accessible programmes for children and families.
Navigate children's digital lives together
Help families better understand gaming, online interactions, emerging technologies and the choices children encounter as they grow up in digital environments.
FIND THE RIGHT FIT
Start with what you need
Choose from an existing Digital Literacy programme, adapt one to your audience or context, or speak with us about a specific digital learning objective. We'll recommend an approach based on what you need.
Start with an existing programme
Looking for a ready-to-run experience? We can recommend existing programmes across coding, AI literacy, digital creation, online safety and family digital literacy.
Shape it for your context
An existing programme can be adjusted where appropriate for a particular age group, audience, theme or setting.
Begin with a specific objective
For organisations with a particular educational, digital inclusion or community objective, we can explore a more customised programme approach.
