The event garnered significant interest from schools nationwide, marking it as a valuable initiative that not only enhances students' abilities but also contributes to the promotion of knowledge and the development of digital skills. The resulting content has the potential to be further developed into educational materials that can sustainably address cyber threats.

Siripong Angkasakulkiat, Advisor to the Minister of Education stated “The 'Aunjai Cyber Young Creator Challenge 2024' is a prime example of a collaborative effort between the public and private sectors, leveraging shared capabilities to promote safe online usage and develop essential skills for the future among students and youth. This initiative not only helps students understand the risks associated with the online world but also contributes to the creation of various educational materials that can be shared with peers, parents, and communities. I would like to thank all the participating schools and congratulate the teams that won awards in this event. I firmly believe that the collective power of all of us will help us keep pace with technological changes, understand digital skills, and effectively address the online threats that are increasingly present in our daily lives."

Ph.D. Wisanu Subsombat, Director of Bureau of Academic Affairs and Educational Standards Office of the Basic Education Commission, stated that the "'Aunjai Cyber Young Creator Challenge 2024' is an activity promoting digital citizenship and cybersecurity through a video clip competition that reflects creativity and social responsibility. Nowadays, digital skills and cybersecurity are essential for students and educational personnel. This competition offers students nationwide the opportunity to create video clips that demonstrate the skills and knowledge acquired from the Aunjai Cyber curriculum. These clips aim to advise and warn society about using online spaces in a quality and creative manner, and to present creative ideas that can be effectively conveyed to peers and families.
