Maxis Cyberkid

The Maxis Cyberkids Programme began in 2002 and since then, the programme has grown in size and scope of activities and has reached out to over 8,600 students and teachers from 1,500 schools nationwide.

The Maxis Cyberkids programme aims to:

•    Bridge the digital divide by harnessing the power of technology and education to align rural communities with Malaysia’s mainstream growth and development.
•    Create awareness on basic ICT applications and understanding of Internet for schoolchildren. It also imparts social and networking skills.
•    Bring technology to children, especially those who cannot afford it or are living in places where technology cannot reach.

It supports Maxis’ Corporate Responsibility pillar of developing and enriching our community. It also supports the Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013 to 2015 on leveraging ICT for education.
