ESCUELA PAULA JARAQUEMADA
SAN RAMON, LA PINTANA
SANTIAGO, CHILE : JULY 2019
This program was in partnership with the Paula Jaraquemada School in Chile. While there were more boys who showed up to the camp than girls, this camp was still very successful in terms of teaching Scratch and creating projects with the code the students learned. Because Chile generally has less emphasis on computer education, the driving goal of the camp was introducing coding to the middle school students as a whole.
