KPerak Kidz is a primary school ICT Awareness Programme targeted at the rural and Orang Asli primary school children in Perak. This 7 day and 6 night camp which started on 6 September 2007, is one of the six camps planned for 2007 that will introduce basic computer and technology skills, self development and also plenty of projects and activities to 70 school children (46 from the Orang Asli primary schools and 24 from the rural primary schools).
Twelve schools (eight Orang Asli primary schools and four rural primary schools) in the Kuala Kangsar District were chosen for the first camp whereby each school nominated six (6) students from Year 4,5 and 6 along with two teachers each to join this camp.
The objectives of this camp are to expose and excite the participants with the wonders of ICT, to provide them with the fundamental skills needed in the practice of ICT and also to incorporate the sense of accountability in ICT usage. There, the children will be lead by trainers through assignments, group discussions, hands-on projects and role plays.
These children will then return to their respective schools to set up ICT clubs, share their knowledge with one another through their activities and also connect to the other participating schools through an online portal.
The first camp was held at the Rakan Muda Complex, Kampar on 6 September 2007 and ends on 12 September 2007 and is the first project for the KPerak Infomediaries after their training programme. This group of KPerak Informediaries trained as ‘ICT missionaries’ cum community entrepreneurs have commenced their own start ups.
In this KPerak Kidz Programme, Wired Bliss Network, C2IT (Centre for Community and IT), Pure IT Network and Start Tech Enterprise will be mentored by Warisan Global to carry out an ICT awareness camps for the rural and Orang Asli primary school children.
