Youth Curated Resources

Youth Shaping Youth

Creating responsible children on smartphones and social media takes more than a community of invested adults; it also takes children inspiring others to get involved. See how the youth are shaping other youth.

Montour High School Youth Projects

At Shape the Sky, we share youth curated resources that align with our mission to inspire other children and adults to join the conversation. We share content created by classes, students, and individuals about changing how children and teens use social media.

One example in which students inspired other students toward responsible smartphones is in Mr. Waldron’s CHS Cybersecurity and Law class at Montour High School in western Pennsylvania. He reached out to Shape the Sky about his students creating projects around social media and technology. His class then generated projects based on Shape the Sky's mission and the students' perspectives on social media as high school students. 

Similar to Mr. Waldron’s class, if your students are interested in creating resources for parents or students as a class project, don’t hesitate to contact us.
