Project Amplify Has Been Completed ! 🎉
Project Overview
Amplify is a free initiative that aims to empower young students in the design and use of emerging digital environments, with a focus on the metaverse.
YCDI is excited to collaborate with Jesus College at The University of Oxford in the UK to achieve the goal of responsible use and design of the metaverse.
Project Goals
The project objectives include identifying student concerns related to internet and metaverse usage, co-designing ethical guidelines and metaverse spaces with students, and evaluating the success of the project.
Understand the concerns of students regarding the metaverse and how we can address them
Train Jamaican high school students on metaverse skills and knowledge and codesign metaverse spaces with them
Give high school students the opportunity to share their ideas on metaverse ethics and responsible use of the space
Identify knowledge gaps among younger students and adapt to areas needing focus
Co-design metaverse ethical guidelines and spaces with students
Evaluate the success of Project Amplify in preparation for a continuous programme which can be facilitated regularly
Our methodology involves four phases across a 9 month period, beginning with identifying knowledge gaps and closing with evaluation and reporting.
