What this project is really about
Meet Meher, Age 16 Meher films a twenty-second video about the broken footpath outside her school. Three hundred people share it. The next morning, it is gone. The notice says her post was removed following a legal request. It does not say which law. It does not say who asked. It does not say what she can do next. Meher decides the app hated her editing. She posts it again. It vanishes again. Here is what she never finds out: her cousin in another country could see the post the whole time. That one detail would have told her almost everything. A post that disappears in one country but stays up everywhere else was probably not removed for breaking a company rule. It was blocked because somebody in her country asked for it. Meher is not unusual. Posts, videos, comments, and whole accounts disappear every day, and the people who lose them are rarely told who made the decision. It could be software that misread a joke. It could be a person applying a company rule. It could be a government office that asked quietly and got a yes. Each one is a different problem with a different next step, and telling them apart is a skill almost nobody is taught. In this project, you will learn to tell them apart. Then, you will build the tech support Meher needed at seven in the morning.
What you'll walk away knowing how to do
This project isn't about memorising facts. It's about building capabilities that transfer — to your next project, your next class, and beyond.
Learn from people who do this for a living
You're not learning from a textbook. You're learning from practitioners.
