Welcome to the Digital Equity Shark Tank!
Digital equity is about far more than providing devices or internet access. It’s about ensuring every learner has the opportunity to participate, create, communicate, and thrive in an increasingly connected world.
The Digital Equity Shark Tank challenges students to identify authentic barriers to digital access and inclusion, develop innovative solutions, and pitch their ideas to a panel of judges in a collaborative, real-world experience. Along the way, they strengthen research, creativity, communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills while learning that even one thoughtful idea has the power to create meaningful change.
This space shares the resources, planning materials, examples, and lessons I’ve developed through this project so you can adapt the experience for your own learners.
Because the best projects don’t just prepare students for the future.
They empower students to help shape it.
