Maks youth<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This project develops digital inclusion activities for children aged 8 to 15. The activities are varied and aim to provide children with the fundamentals and tools they need to become active participants in the fields of multimedia and computer science. Children are introduced to coding and gradually move on to creating games and animations using the Scratch application. In the area of multimedia, they learn how to design, film, and edit short videos. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
Maks for adults<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Maks for adults is a project to help the adult community with digital inclusion. This covers all levels, from operating a computer to operating excel, for example. A sub-project of maks adult is the alpha project that aims to help people get jobs. To this end, maks gives courses to the alpha (illiterate) and then, through steps, coaching, etc., helps them find jobs more easily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
