In its second year, the St. Matthew Catholic School Tech Challenge in San Mateo included 67 seventh- and eighth-grade students who voluntarily gave up their tech devices for two weeks.
Students carefully set goals for themselves to help focus their time and energy while on the tech challenge, such as baking, walking the dog, playing outside and reading. Students found they had more quality interactions with their family members, the school said.
