DIY.org

DIY is an online skill-building platform designed specifically for children. Its website houses a variety of multi-media content designed to teach children various skills, in the context of a global interest-based community. On the COPPA certified platform, each user has their personal profile and is allowed to share creations and accomplishments with friends. The skills learned on DIY are largely creative and maker-focused. Recently DIY closed down but has seemed to make a slight appearance. A quote from a mentor states, “This is just a test we hope our DIYers don’t get there hopes up.” DIY closed down 4 months ago due to “Google policies”
