Some libraries are running Commissioner’s Digital Challenge programs

If you would like some guidance to complete the Commissioner’s Digital Challenge, many South Australian libraries are offering after school Challenge sessions or school holiday Challenge programs.

The following libraries have registered to run Commissioner’s Digital Challenge after school sessions and/or school holiday programs in 2021:

I’m ready to start the Challenge

Are you a librarian?

There are two simple ways public libraries in South Australia can support the children in their communities toward digital empowerment:

1. RUN A CHALLENGE PROGRAM AT YOUR LIBRARY

2. PROMOTE THE CHALLENGE AT YOUR LIBRARY

Libraries can run their own Challenge program

How to run a program

Check out our Mini Guide to Running a Challenge Program at your Library.

Key Dates

The Challenge commences on 27 January 2021 and closes on 24 September 2021. All programs need to take place within this period.

Programs can be offered in the Term 1 or Term 2 school holidays or after school.

Certificates

Libraries running programs are asked to encourage all individual participants completing the Challenge to submit their Challenge Completion Form by 24 September 2021 to receive their Certificate of Achievement from the Commissioner.

Children completing the Challenge who are Scouts or Guides can use their certificate to claim their Space to Dream badge. Further information is available on the Scouts and Guides pages of this website.

Designs submitted by 24 September 2021 will also be considered for inclusion in the public Space to Dream exhibition – full details to be announced later in the year. A selection of designs will also feature in the Commissioner’s Virtual Gallery.

LIBRARIES CAN REGISTER TO RUN A PROGRAM HERE

Libraries wishing to run a program are asked to register. Registration is free and takes less than one minute. Libraries can register here.

Once registered:

The library will show up on this website as a participating library.
The library will be sent the exclusive ‘Official Commissioner’s Digital Challenge Destination’ Seal to display in their library and on their social media.

Libraries can promote the Challenge using our free material

Even libraries not running a Challenge program in 2021 can support digital empowerment by printing and displaying or sharing any of the free Challenge promotional material:
