Summer PIT Stop: “Camp Data Trails”

Part 1/5 of our Summer PIT Stop workshop series – sign up HERE for sessions at 11:30am or 4:30pm!

At Camp Data Trails, campers become digital trail guides, following the clues to discover how personal and community data is collected, shared, sold, and used by companies, organizations, and governments. We’ll learn how to spot data risks, ask smarter privacy questions, and build a toolkit for protecting ourselves and our communities.

This 60-minute educational workshop helps students, professionals, and families understand how personal data is collected and utilized by corporations and governments. Participants will evaluate everyday technology risks, analyze AI-powered algorithms, and build a customized Digital Safety Toolkit to strengthen their online security and protect community digital rights.
