Project Amplify
Project Amplify is an innovative education programme that aims to empower young Jamaican students in the design and use of emerging digital environments, with a specific focus on the metaverse. The one-year project is a collaboration between Jamaican youth empowerment organisation Youth Can Do I.T. (YCDI) and Jesus College, and is being funded through the College’s Development Fund, which is generously supported by Jesus alumni. It launched in February 2023, and is led by researcher Dr Samantha-Kaye Johnston, Supernumerary Fellow in Education at Jesus, and YCDI colleagues Cherika Wilson and Christopher Derrell.
