At this organization, we embrace a philosophy that encompasses the following principles:
1. In-Person Social Learning and Technology Augmentation: We firmly believe in the power of in-person social learning experiences. We recognize that human interaction and collaboration foster deeper understanding and growth. However, we also acknowledge the transformative potential of technology in augmenting productivity and expanding educational possibilities. By combining the best aspects of both, we create an environment where technology serves as a tool to enhance learning, not replace it.
2. Acknowledging the Intelligence of Children: We hold the belief that children possess innate intelligence and limitless potential. We understand that when provided with the right direction and a nurturing environment, children have the ability to excel beyond expectations. Our focus is on empowering children with the necessary knowledge, skills, and guidance to unlock their capabilities and reach their full potential.
3. Providing Opportunities for Practice: We recognize that practice is a crucial element in the learning process. We provide ample opportunities for children to engage in hands-on experiences, apply their knowledge, and develop their skills. Through active participation and repeated practice, children gain confidence, refine their abilities, and develop a deeper understanding of concepts.
4. Contributing to the Community: We believe in the importance of giving back to the community. We actively engage in initiatives that benefit the broader community, such as supporting educational programs, organizing outreach activities, and fostering partnerships with local organizations. By actively participating in the community, we aim to create a positive impact and contribute to the betterment of society as a whole.
Hello,
I am a rising junior at Arizona State University majoring in computer science. I started this program because I wanted to give students what I wish I had in high school to help me prepare and introduce myself to computer science and build important soft skills necessary for my professional career.
