Children's Group: The Digital Warrior’s Children Carnival
The NetMission Children’s Digital Warriors Carnival was successfully held on the 31st January, 2010 in Park Central, Tseung Kwan O shopping mall. The aim of the Carnival was to organize a fun and engaging event to positively influence primary school children and parents about proper Internet usage, knowledge and raise awareness of digital divide issues. We would like to thank Sun Hung Kai Properties for their generous sponsorship of the event at Park Central, as the location attracted many families to visit the Carnival during the weekend.
The Children’s team, run by Bianca Ho, Sharon So, Fion Tam, Evelyn Lau and Desiree Ho began in July last year, when the original idea of organizing a three-day camp for children at a local University was scrapped due to the outbreak of Swine flu. By October 2010, the idea of holding a Children’s carnival began to materialize. The carnival included various game booths and activities, as well as many guest performers who interacted with audiences and shared their views on how the Internet has affected their lifestyles. Guest performers included local stars and budding young performers, including 4anda, NINE maps, Benedict Yuen, Leslie Ho, Charmaine Mirandilla, Daniel Lopez, 何建邦, Eden Gern etc.
Four major game booths were designed to raise awareness of proper Internet usage and conduct, and how children can also play a role in creating a more positive Internet environment. We would like to thank UST Connect and Rotaract Club of Channel Islands for bringing in over 50 volunteers to help out at the event. We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to the supporting organizations, all of whom played a key role in making this carnival happen, including Safer Internet Day Hong Kong, Kid's Dream, One Laptop per Child and the Hong Kong Committee on Children's Rights. Last but not least, we would also like to thank WISECARE and CHOI FUNG HONG for their generous support towards the carnival.
兒童組：「數碼達人大作戰」開心教育嘉年華
由NetMission兒童组策劃的「數碼達人大作戰」開心教育嘉年華(下稱﹕嘉年華)己於2010年1月31日假在將軍澳中心順利舉行。在此特別鳴謝新鴻基將軍澳商場贊助場地，讓多個家庭和小朋友樂在其中，渡過快樂的週末。
是次活動能順利舉行承蒙各界支持，當中包括香港國際互聯網安全日、童夢同想、每童一電腦、香港兒童權利委員會，更特別鳴謝彩豐行 和WISECARE熱心支持。與此同時也不得不提科技大學UST Connect 和 Rotaract Club of Channel Islands，攜同50多名義工一同支持是次活動。
嘉年華目的是透過一些生動有趣的遊戲攤位，以淺入深出的方式，向家長及小朋友教授如何正確使用互聯網，從而灌輸他們對數碼鴻溝的基本認識。
活動中更邀請了多位表演嘉賓，包括本地藝人和具潛質的年青表演者，如4anda，NINE maps，Benedict Yuen，何建邦，Charmaine Mirandilla 等， 他們除了精彩演出外，更與觀眾們分享他們互聯網生活和對其影響。
兒童组成員為何思穎，蘇寶盈，譚詠珊，劉以穎和何凱瑩。在籌備兒童組的社區活動時，正值豬流感爆發，一開始所構思的三天小學生夏令營曾因而被逼取消。本組使者本著對解決數碼鴻溝的堅持，無懼重新開始的苦楚，仍積極計劃多個可行的方案，嘉年華最終亦圓滿的結束。
