VG Foundation, in collaboration with the Leo Club of Budigandaki, successfully organized a three-day computer training program at Chandi Devi School as part of the ongoing project “Bridging the Digital Divide.” This initiative aims to expand digital literacy among school children in rural communities. Chandi Devi School is the third institution from this project, marking another milestone in the effort to ensure that technology-based learning reaches those who need it most. The training was designed for students of Grades 4 and 5 to help them build a strong and early foundation in digital skills.
On the first day, students were introduced to the fundamentals of computers, including different hardware components, how they function, and their significance in the modern world. They eagerly learned about devices such as the keyboard, mouse, monitor, and CPU, and also explored how computers are used across various fields like education, business, healthcare, communication and entertainment.
The second day of the training focused on enhancing creativity through MS Paint. Students practiced using different tools such as shapes, brushes, colors, and text options to create their own illustrations. Many students, who had never used a computer for drawing before, were thrilled to see their imaginations come to life on the screen.
The final day was dedicated to learning MS Word and basic typing skills. Students were guided on how to type letters, edit text, and format documents, helping them gain confidence in using digital tools for schoolwork, communication and future career development. They also had fun participating in typing games designed to improve their speed and accuracy.
This training session aimed not only to introduce technology to young learners but also to encourage curiosity and enhance their practical abilities. By providing hands-on activities and interactive lessons, the program helped build students’ confidence and excitement toward digital education. The event received positive feedback from teachers and students, marking a meaningful step toward promoting digital literacy and opening new opportunities for learning and growth within the school community.
