Exabytes and Cyber Youth Singapore (CYS) partnered up to organise multiple workshop sessions at IMDA’s Digital for Life Festival to educate the youths in Singapore on digitalisation. During the YouthxWorkshop: Build a Portfolio workshop, the youths were taught on how to develop skills through WordPress, how to build their very own portfolio website and they learnt the basic HTML and CSS for page structure and style information to build their website.

The Masterclass by Exabytes on “How to Build Your First Website with Exabytes” was carried out on the 9th of September 2022, starting off with an experience sharing by Exabytes’ founder and CEO, Chan Kee Siak, who founded his IT company at the age of 19 while still a student. Here, the participants were able to listen to and, more importantly, learn from the successful entrepreneur himself about what motivated him to launch his company as a young student and how he was able to establish and expand it at such a young age. The workshop was then conducted by Exabytes’ Asst. Campaign Manager, Kelvin Low, also affectionately known as the team’s WordPress guru.
