We’re so proud of Team #YouthEmpowered, who leveraged technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) to equip youth with skills to protect themselves from online scams and fake news. Their project won the Lee Hsien Loong Interactive Digital Media Smart Nation Award! The team comprises Cordelia Hyeeun Hwang, Ong Peng Kai, Nurmullyn Bte Muliadi, Daniel Lim and Ko Ko Kyaw, supported by their lecturers. Sharing on behalf of the team, Hyeeun said, “Being part of #YouthEmpowered was a fulfilling experience. It allowed us to tap on emerging technologies such as AR, equip people with skills to protect themselves from scams and fake news through gamification. We believe that interactive learning is the most effective way to educate people on exercising social responsibility in the online world.”
