The Digital Compass — Navigating Online Culture, Algorithms & Identity

A practical course for teen boys aged 13–17 who want more control over what shapes their attention, confidence and relationships online. You will learn to decode feeds, test influencer claims, spot manipulative “alpha” scripts and build a stronger identity through real skills and real-world connection.

COURSE OUTCOMES:

• Explain why attention-driven feeds often amplify outrage, insecurity and polarisation.

• Distinguish online performance from reliable evidence of competence, credibility and character.

• Spot common logical fallacies, harmful gender templates and escalating content pathways.

• Make deliberate choices that improve the quality of a feed and reduce reactive engagement.

• Build a realistic plan for confidence based on skills, interests, relationships and community.
