Exploring Web 3.0 and Digital Identity Through Creative Workshops
In a recent series of innovative workshops, young participants aged 9-13 explored the topics of Web 3.0 and digital identity in playful and engaging ways. Led by expert facilitators, these workshops provided a dynamic platform for children to explore the intersection of technology, creativity, and self-expression.
One workshop, "Playful immersion into the digital world with Minecraft," guided participants through a hands-on journey in the virtual realm of Minecraft. Amidst rebuilding structures and collaborative gameplay, the young participants also grappled with concepts like AI, decentralization, data protection and online safety. With the assistance of Chat GPT, they navigated discussions on the role of AI in their lives and pondered the future implications of Web 3.0 technologies.
In another workshop titled "Dance Laboratory – Being Human in Web 3.0," participants explored the connection between their physical movements and their online personas. Through dance tutorials, discussions, and choreography sessions, they examined how the digital world influences their offline behavior and vice versa. Questions surrounding digital advertising, algorithms, data privacy as a right and blockchain technology sparked thoughtful reflections on the impact of digital platforms on personal identity and expression.
Ultimately, these workshops provided a dynamic space for young learners to not only engage with technology but also to critically examine their relationship with the digital landscape. Through hands-on projects and creative exploration, participants gained valuable insights into the evolving nature of Web 3.0 and the complexities of digital identity in today's interconnected world.
