Agavi: Brazilian Forest Schools Digitalization

Greetings all,

I hope the new year finds you well.  Our coding club students have continued their learning and prototyping and we'll continue this work into the upcoming year.  Unfortunately, we were not able to make our way up to the Amazon due to logistical difficulties, but we'll be trying again later this year.

Moving forward, we've decided to adjust the project slightly.  A similar forest community is closer to Campinas, where a lot of our students live and work and so we'll work on demonstrating and testing our prototypes in the nearby community of Guapiruvu over the first half of the year.  Once we have proof of concept of our classrooms-in-a-box, we'll work on expanding it to more remote communities in Brazil as well as importing the concept to our Ukrainian colleagues, who have a desperate need for offline learning at the moment.

With gratitude,

Lev

Greetings all,

I have been in Brazil for seven months now and it's been quite the adjustment.  During this period, I've had a chance to establish a lot of starter projects through my colleagues at the University of Campinas and am becoming increasingly familiar with the educational system here and how the work Science Voices does can fit well.  Things are progressing slowly but surely.  Most of the work has been in establishing connections and building a network that can support our work for multiple years.  Currently, I'm planning a site visit to our Amazonian River school partners in December, so stay tuned for more soon!

With gratitude,

Lev
