## Summary

Project Reboot, a student-led digital wellness initiative that began as a UC Berkeley course, aims to help people reclaim time lost to screens. The page says the average teen is on pace to spend 26 years of their life looking at a screen. The course reportedly helped more than 100 students reduce their screen time by an average of 3.5 hours per day. Its curriculum was developed with Dr. Sahar Yousef, professor of the Mind, Machine, and Meaning course at UC Berkeley and the project's Chief Science Officer, and the group says it has reached over 100,000 students and parents at 80+ schools.
