This project aimed to educate learners about the effects of drug abuse. Students researched the impacts of drug use through interviews and visiting rehabilitation centers.

Students presented their findings on the radio and published a video on YouTube to share their message worldwide. The project helped students develop technology skills and increased interest in learning. It influenced teachers to incorporate more technology and convinced school leadership of technology's benefits.
