I had the honor of hosting a scratch session at Government Girls College Makurdi. It was a fantastic opportunity for me to share my knowledge as a scratch tutor. #TeenTechHub
Yesterday, our volunteers had the opportunity to introduce ScratchJr to teachers and pupils at Baptist Primary School, Makurdi, Nigeria. We also donated some Android tablets to the school to aid their learning.
Big Announcement!!!!
We're delighted to reveal that we'll be partnering with the CBN to deliver financial literacy training across Benue state. Watch with space to get more updates.
In fostering our commitments to make coding accessible, we just concluded the first phase of our teacher training program.
Our participants drawn from public schools in low income communities around the Makurdi metropolis, got hands on training in #ScratchJr
In July, we donated 2 laptops and 2 Android Tablets to Children of Mary Orphanage, Otukpo, Nigeria.
With these devices or volunteers and the teachers at the orphanage will continue to teach the children coding using @scratch and @ScratchJr in a more hands-on way.
We were more than excited to teach a few kids in our local community about building their own games using #scratch
No better way to launch them into their summer break than this.
