Now that we’ve learned about different forms of digital access and looked at real world examples, its your turn to create solutions. The scenarios below describe hypothetical regions, each possessing its own strengths, weaknesses, and pathway towards increased digital inclusion. Choose one of the scenarios and get to work designing an action plan—once you are done, present it to your class and answer any questions they may have.
Remember, our goals are to increase access to the digital economy, decrease poverty, collaborate with different groups and organizations, and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to engage with the global digital community.

LET’S REFLECT…
After you’ve run the simulation and reviewed your final graph, take a moment to consider your results.
- What did you prioritize first (access, skills, opportunity, investment, or global connection), and why did you believe it would unlock the most progress?
- What was the biggest constraint in your scenario, and how did it shape or limit your action plan? What tradeoffs did you have to make?
- How does your plan ensure that the most vulnerable populations are not left behind?
- Which partners did you involve, and how would you ensure your solution is sustainable beyond the first year?
