🌟 Our first day at the Single Vue Academy STREAM Camp was truly inspiring! The "Design an HBCU" mobile app project powered by MAD-learn had our Black and Brown scholars deeply engaged in computational thinking while celebrating the rich culture of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Here's a glimpse of the incredible experience: 1️⃣ Exploring HBCU History: Scholars delved into the rich history and significance of HBCUs, learning about their profound impact on Black culture and education. This foundation set the stage for our project, instilling pride and purpose. 2️⃣ Brainstorming App Ideas: Students collaborated to brainstorm unique features that reflect HBCU culture, such as virtual campus tours showcasing historical landmarks and student life. This creative process ignited their passion for design thinking. 3️⃣ Planning the App: Scholars mapped out their ideas, outlining the app's key components and functionalities. This phase fostered critical thinking and teamwork, essential skills in computational thinking. ✨ Witnessing our students embrace technology and heritage simultaneously was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. We are nurturing the next generation of tech innovators who are rooted in their cultural identity. 🚀 Parents and educators, let’s keep this momentum going! Share your thoughts and ideas on how we can continue to support and inspire our Black and Brown scholars in STEM.
