I’m ready to take the Challenge

Are you a librarian?

There are two simple ways public libraries in South Australia can get involved to support children in their community on their journeys toward digital empowerment:

1. RUN A CHALLENGE PROGRAM AT YOUR LIBRARY

2. PROMOTE THE CHALLENGE AT YOUR LIBRARY

Libraries can run their own Commissioner’s Digital Challenge program.

How to run a program

Check out the 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

Every individual participant who submits their complete Zoom Out Systems Thinking Record online will be sent a Zoom Out Certificate of Achievement from the Commissioner.

Libraries running programs are asked to encourage all individual participants to submit their online Zoom Out Systems Thinking Records by 24 September 2021 to receive their certificate from the Commissioner.

LIBRARIES CAN REGISTER TO RUN A PROGRAM HERE

Libraries wishing to run a program are asked to register so their details can be included on the Challenge website as a participating library. Libraries can register here.

Participating libraries 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 for children in their community by printing and displaying or sharing any of the free Challenge promotional material:

When you can break down any system, big or small, into its components you can start to learn more about how things work, and it can even change the way you look at the world. No system is perfect, so think about how you can improve the systems around you – making them more energy efficient, using sustainable materials, creating less waste, performing the function better, or even helping improve lives – as bit by bit, this is how we build a better future!
