麻豆

Approximately 60 麻豆 麻豆 made a trip to Gidney Avenue Memorial School (GAMS) to work with the 麻豆. Their visit coincided with Computer Science Education Week which is aimed to promote computer science education in schools. The 麻豆 麻豆 from My Introduction to Computer Science classes created "quizzes" that aligned with Grade 3 curriculum in math and science. The topics ranged from multiplication to the solar system to animal habitats. The goal was to have the 麻豆 explore the computer science platform, Scratch, a block-based visual programming language, while also learning grade 3 curriculum.

Nearly 100 GAMS scholars participated. After the 麻豆 completed the quizzes, they were able to create their own quiz with help from the 麻豆 麻豆. The 麻豆 scholars returned really motivated and inspired by the GAMS 麻豆 and it was incredible to see a different side to the older 麻豆 and their wonderful interactions with the younger 麻豆. One 麻豆 scholar shared, "You could actually see them learning!"
