The annual ICDL Asia Digital Challenge is back and promises to be better than ever before, showcasing future-ready digital skills for students in Asia. In its 6th iteration, this prestigious student competition is aimed at secondary and tertiary students aged 13 to 25 years old in Asia who wish to showcase their digital skills and take on the challenges of the new digital economy.
