UNESCO YouthMobile
summary
UNESCO runs the YouthMobile Initiative that, over two years, pilots mobile app training in about 16–17 countries and plans six Asia workshops teaching design, coding and deployment. It builds open-licensed training materials for teachers, links students to app competitions, and already ran an ocean data app competition exposing scientific datasets to youth. Targets include secondary students, teachers and marginal communities; one local project spawns a small school that reaches thousands and several student-made apps and innovations emerge.
