from Startup HalfHour · host Francis Onuk
School is officially out, but the digital clock is ticking. In this episode, host Francis Onuk breaks down why the 6-to-8 week holiday break represents either a widening divide or an unprecedented runway for young people. Moving beyond outdated ideas of "computer literacy" (hint: formatting a Word document in 2026 isn't tech training), Francis delivers an unfiltered look at how we can shift our youth from passive content consumers into high-value digital creators.We tackle the elephant in the room—the hardware deficit—and explore how to shatter the myth that you need an expensive laptop to get started. From mobile-first coding and UI design to leveraging local hubs and community spaces, learn how young people can use the device in their hands to build real-world confidence and portfolio projects before the new school term begins.
