HKUST CONNECT SDG GOALS

WebOrganic aimed to deliver high-quality education on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to children and youth from low-income families. HKUST volunteers served as mentors for the children and youth, engaging their mentees in a variety of ICT and mental health related activities.

Volunteers underwent mentor training by WebOrganic before partnering with their mentees to participate in workshops covering topics such as "STEM", "Digital Citizenship", and "Digital Entrepreneurship". Following the workshops, mentors and mentees applied their newfound knowledge to co-create a socially innovative idea centered around the application of ICT in mental health.
