Challenge
Some key data to remember:
+ The greenhouse gas emissions linked to digital represent the same weight as the aviation sector (source: Shift Project)
+ A 15-year-old spends on average 8.5 hours a day behind a screen (source: HBCS survey)
+ Digital only counts 30% women in its workforce (source: Numeum)
Despite its potential, digital also faces major social and environmental challenges: the earlier we teach these issues, the more citizens will be able to adopt good, responsible digital practices.
Solution
That's why Latitudes has developed a 1h30 workshop for middle and high schools to:
1) Help young people adopt responsible digital practices as early as possible;
2) Introduce digital professions to young people who wouldn't have thought of making it their career.
1) Help young people adopt responsible digital practices as early as possible;
2) Introduce digital professions to young people who wouldn't have thought of making it their career.
Through the simulation of the creation of a digital application, students discover the different professions involved in its development, as well as the social and environmental issues of digital: eco-design, ethical design, accessibility, etc.

The new Future of Tech cardsA revised and improved workshop for season 3!
🎒 Future of Tech, the workshop for students from 6ème to Terminale that talks about digital professions and their impacts is back for season 3 ... and there are a few new features! ✨
After two seasons already completed, and above all over 2000 students made aware of it, we took advantage of the summer break to think about a new, even more fun and interactive version of the workshop! 🤩
➡️ Through a dedicated card game, debates and 7 educational mini-games, Future of Tech raises students' awareness of the impacts of digital through topical issues: addiction to screens, environmental impact of digital, cyberbullying, diversity in tech, etc.
ℹ️ We'd like to point out that the workshop still lasts 2 hours, remains 100% free for schools, and is suitable for all Secondary school levels! 🙂

Future of Tech celebrates its first birthday!Future of Tech celebrates its first anniversary 🎂
The Future of Tech program was born of a desire: to bring the underbelly of the tech world to middle and high school students, and to raise their awareness of responsible practices. ✊
And one year on, here we are: the second season has just ended, with more than 1,200 students sensitized since January 2023, 100 volunteers who have learned how to run this workshop to intervene with us all over France and no fewer than 30 schools who have been able to benefit from our workshops free of charge.
"We've experienced so many moments, so many workshops organized, meetings with students who want to continue to get involved, the realization of a workshop at 110 Bis, the innovation lab of the French National Education and the famous victory of the first Engagé Hackathon of M6 Publicité which will allow us to have our 1st TV commercial at the end of the year. None of this would have been possible without the support of our partners and the unwavering commitment of our community of volunteers." Agathe Delas, Project Manager #FutureOfTech 🌱
In September, we're off on new adventures! 🚀

Atelier Future of TechAlready 2,000 students aware of the problem!
Thanks to you, we've passed the mark of 2000 students having taken part in a Future of Tech workshop.
These students have thus been able to raise awareness of the impacts of digital technology, be they socio- and/or environmental.
To have an even more effective new format in this season 2, we've designed a dedicated deck of cards. This card game, tested in the last workshops, brings a new dimension to the device.
Through mini-games, students discover the professions and impacts of digital technology:
- they learn how to recruit a diverse and complementary team by analyzing profiles and skills;
- they discover the specificities of graphic models and particularly in terms of accessibility;
- they decode a source code after answering quizzes linked to the energy impact of digital technology;
- they are made aware of cybersecurity by taking a step back from their passwords.
Each workshop spent in a middle or high school class shows us the usefulness of the program for these young people who need to take a step back from their digital uses.
Thank you again for your support.

Future of Tech workshop at a Strasbourg middle schoolFuture of Tech program exceeds target: 762 students trained in 3 months!
Thanks to our corporate sponsors and all their Captains, we've been able to launch the new Future of Tech program, a 2-hour workshop for middle school students all over France.The aim of this program is to understand the different stages involved in designing an impactful mobile app. Each stage is an opportunity to present a profession and focus on one of the causes supported by Latitudes (digital sobriety, accessibility, respect for human beings, citizenship, diversity) through interactive, fun exchanges.
We had the ambition of raising awareness among 600 students and, thanks to you, we not only reached this goal but also exceeded it as 762 students took part in the program across France in 3 months!
We are launching Season 2 of the Future of Tech program today with the ambition of training 1200 students. The 3 major challenges of this season will be:
- to launch partnerships in connection with the workshop (guidance, cyberbullying, diversity, etc);
- to continue the search for establishments (middle schools AND high schools) all over France (don't hesitate to help us on this point, we have a dedicated communication kit);
- the design and production of a real board game to make the experience even more fun and interactive (this is one of the budget components to be sought over 2023).
