Welcome to #Scriptblr!
#Scriptblr hopes to spark youths' curiosity about social and policy issues in the tech world, and to make this platform a safe space to build knowledge and awareness.
About YouthTech Institute
#Scriptblr is a YouthTech Institute (YTI) initiative, built as part of YTI's national platform addressing vulnerabilities amongst youths, brought on by emerging technologies. YTI hopes to build digital confidence, skills, and pathways that help young people and society thrive in a digital world.
As part of our efforts to spotlight youth perspectives, YTI has worked with international organisations, local government, industry and most importantly, our peers. YTI is a branch within our parent organisation, YouthTechSG.
