Our Summary* of requirements:

1. Expand the idea of digital footprints in one way: survey a group of community members and analyze their data of technology use, OR analyze your footprint for patterns such as screen time, time of day use, moods, etc. AND design a pocket guide with three ideas/goals to be more intentional with your tech use, OR design three avatars for three apps/websites/platforms you use the most based on the data of your use (who you follow, what you post/click on, etc.) AND compare those avatars and to your true persona.
2. Track ads (all ads for one day, OR search for adds on social media, email, or other accounts) AND analyze the data, OR find an ad showing bias or stereotyping and recreate it to be inclusive and fair.
3. Explore how to act online in one activity: create a scenario and action card game as described in the GSUSA booklet, create lists of highs and lows with examples from your tech use AND decide how to be better, OR research a leader before 1983 and pretend they were now in today’s world AND create a pretend digital landscape for them.
4. Make digital content (video, meme, or poster) to get people thinking about an important issue (educating people on a historical or current issue, OR inspiring people to act on the issue), OR create content for a community not online to help them get support they need.
5. Alter your step 4 content in one way (adapt digital content to something you can print, create an in-person event to share it, OR try a different media from the original content) AND use it to further spread your message AND analyze which was more effective.
