Programs
Identify problems around and write a problem statement.
Work with peers to brainstorm solution
Create animation, games, applications, webpage, physcial computing device
Share the story of change with larger group of audience
Our pedagogical philosophy of Observe-Brainstorm-Code-Pitch empowers children’s confidence to use technology and builds more stakeholder investment.
The crux of the curriculum and pedagogy, Observe-Brainstorm-Code-Pitch is children connect with their environment and observe beautiful and not-so-beautiful things. They collaborate with their peer to express things they like/want to change or solve a problem. They code projects on different programming tools and pitch their story of change to different stakeholders in the community.
