Timings and duration are decided by the participant and volunteer based on availability. The Volunteers are rotated every 4-6 weeks so the participant gets exposed to different interactions.

Computer Programming

Introduction to Computer Programming using scratch – A high school volunteer holds a week-long online class to introduce our participants to basics of computer programming using scratch. Aside from daily classes during the week, the participants work on a project to build a simple game or two to practice the skills learned during the class. These classes are usually held during summer break.
