Digital Media Maker Programme


13-17 year olds
In this programme, we will discover what makes you brilliant! And yes, we all are!
Through our fun self-exploration activities, we will find out and celebrate the things you are good at and use them to tell your stories. You can tell your stories with pictures, words, your voice, or a mix of these. Plus, you will get to share your fantastic creations and learn alongside other makers like yourself. We will also explore how people are using the skills you are learning, in their lives and work. And you will get to meet some interesting people who do exciting things with these skills.
Are you ready for a digital adventure of creativity and discovery?
Please get an adult to support you in telling us you are interested. Then, click the purple button below to tell us about yourself and we will respond soon. You can also ask questions on the form. There is a limited number of places on this programme so, speak with your responsible adult to get started right away.
For parents, guardians, teachers, activity leaders & homeschoolers
This programme has been developed to support participants’ self-understanding, self-appreciation and self-confidence alongside developing practical digital skills in areas that may be of interest to them.
Embedded within the programme is our unique Capacity Building Framework which:
- Helps participants to become more aware of what they are good at and of the digital opportunities that match what they are good at, making for a self-affirming experience.
- Helps participants to grow in self-confidence as they see others like themselves ’doing digital’ in the sessions and in real life – the more confident and self-assured we are, the better outcomes we achieve.
- Provides a guided, immersive, hands-on experience of ‘doing digital’ rather than passive, theoretical learning.
- Encourages self-direction as participants pursue their own interests through digital storytelling and self-expression.
- Supports the development of 21st Century Learning Skills for life and career readiness.
Our founder, Dr. Eguara particularly developed this programme to support children and young people who may not have had positive experiences with traditional schooling. A veteran educator, she has had students who struggled in school due to special and additional learning needs but who thrived when allowed creative expression supported by technology. Dr. Eguara has also brought to bear on this programme her training, work and experiences as a life coach, business coach, and mentor supporting personal growth and achievement in children and adults.
It is one of our aims to deliver participant-led programmes. Therefore, we ask prospective participants to provide some information about themselves and their needs prior to starting with us. This way, they help to shape the experience they receive.
