As a new year is coming to an end, we wanted to share what we’ve been doing the past months. During september, El Desafío had the 6th Happy Cities Festival, where we discuss how cities act as the perfect platform for social and economic development.
In terms of our coding program, kids continued to work on coding and robotics, the Festival was a great spark for the participants to think about what their ideal city should have, and worked on it through gaming – and virtual simulators. They also created robotics hands and discussed potential uses for them.
For the final class of 2019, we invited families to be a part of the class, they played together with some of the kids creations, such as the automatic plant watering system and the electric guitar.
It was definitely a year filled with new experiences, lots of knowledge and we are looking forward for an even better 2020, and for that, please remember that there are still some more days left of this Year’s end campaign, we haven’t reached our goal yet, but with you help and continuous support we are sure we will get there soon!
As always, thanks for your support, and please continue to follow us through our social media accounts - Facebook - Twitter & Instagram
