Dear donor,
We have started our winter 2020 program with much energy and with 7 new centers where we would teach coding to many more children.
In January we purchased 80 new laptop computers and delivered them to Pendik, Uskudar, Gaziosmanpasa and Atasehir branches in Istanbul, to Düzce near Istanbul, to Seferihisar and Usak in the west, to Konya in Central Anatolia, to Çukurova and Alanya in the south and to Van in far east of Turkey. We gave instructor trainings to trainer candidates from Usak, Düzce, Konya and Van in February . Then in March the Covid-19 pandemic started and forced us to stop all our coding courses as schools also closed and physical contact among students was not advisable.
In the meantime we prepared two webinars for our branch coordinators and course instructors. Our first webinar in April was on "classroom management and skills for communicating with children" and the second webinar in May focused on the "Kodlamaca- computer coding program and volunteering".
We intend to start our courses once schools open in August or September.
We hope we all will stay healthy and well during these unusual times. We will be telling you more about the restart of our program according to the new normals in our next report..
Stay safe..
