These programs had an immense impact in youth lives. YES leader Poornima who directed Child Soldier film won Adobe creative scholarship in 2013. She entered motion graphics and animations degree from Nothembria Univesity(UK), which otherwise too expensive on her own. Aadeeptha and Mithun dropped out school yet developed media and electronics engineering careers. Teranga a disturbed youth was able to gain entrance to technical college and employment in digital design field. Romesh, a rural youth from Lahugala gained employment with digital skills. These are few success stories of many youth benefited. The project generated many jobs in ICT and creative media fields and transformed large number of youth as active digital citizens for social change.
Now Shilpa Sayura is planning to upscale YES as appSMART. AppSMART is an insight of current mobile technologies that would transcend into digital economy of Sri Lanka. The idea of AppSMART emerged among youth trained in Digital Rainbow. Shilpa Sayura continuing its innovation aims to create a new breed of young technologists for mobile and wearable apps by training them online and offline.
A Credit Suisse bank report states that Global mobile apps industry currently at 3-4$ billion market expects to grow 25-30$ billion by 2017. Sri Lanka, a nation with 40% ICT literacy, resulting from e Sri Lanka development, soon expects Google loons over the sky. Sri Lanka has a high potential becoming a digital nation providing mobile technology human resources to the world. Shilpa Sayura was initiated in 2006 has implemented many project, learned many lessons, tempered and ready to undertake a larger mission, with support for innovation for provisioning youth economic development.
