What we Do

DTI HIVE is ushering 4th industrial revolution (4IR) inclusivity through collaboration focused on engagement of talented and/or under-resourced youth/young adults into online Digital Technological Innovation Hubs which foster experiential e-learning, disruptive^digital innovation and social entrepreneurship.

How We Do It

Using DTIHIVE’s Experiential CIISLEARNing model of internpreneurship which combines service-/project-based e-learning, digital innovation and social entrepreneurship, participants in academic/industry-based and independent interest groups/teams affiliated with the DTI HIVE virtual ecosystem jointly undertake a series of (Col)Lab-R-tories (service-/project-based e-course pathway sequence) to conceptualize, design, develop/adapt and launch digital technological innovations (DTIs). This DTI process culminates in solutions which change lives, and can also be shared and marketed globally.

The Experiential CIISLEARNing Model

We are a unique HIVE with no Queen Bee 🙂 In keeping with the humility implied by our ‘beehive with no Queen Bee’ metaphor, we continuously welcome really zestful busy bees including experienced and first-time digital techies into various teams, roles and activities, thus keeping our HIVE alive with a dynamic infusion of digital tech dreamers, thinkers and doers.
