A 15-year-old camper at the WorldSkills Barbados Juniors (WSBJ) Future Skills Camp has developed a mobile application that challenges young people to learn while using their favourite social media platforms.

As Barbados observed International Youth Day on Wednesday, Ashton Edghil-Watson showcased his concept, Work Entertainment, during the Mobile Application Development programme at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology (SJPI), where Minister of Technological and Vocational Training Sandra Husbands and ministry officials viewed projects created by campers.

The annual camp continues at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology until Friday, exposing young people to emerging technologies and vocational skills through hands-on training.
