Monthly Altino Introduction Lunch Series
March 16, 2018 Friday @ 12:00 am
Calling our Honolulu Business community! Kamehameha Schools & Oceanit are inviting you to a FREE lunchtime executive briefing on the ‘Altino: coding system for non-coders!’ We are using this fun tool to bring coding to every student in Hawaii. Disruptors & Innovators, bring your lunch and join us at noon to learn about rethinking education, critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity.
Only 1 in 4 schools surveyed in a 2014 Gallup poll commissioned by Google teach coding. At the same time, 9 in 10 parents want their kids to have the opportunity to learn coding and advanced computer skills and feel it should be part of the curriculum. Yet, less than half of the 11,558 superintendents and principals surveyed felt that their boards supported more computer science resources. Many “do not perceive a high level of demand for computer science among students and parents in their communities.”
Meanwhile, countries like Finland, France, Korea, the United Kingdom, and Estonia have either begun planning elementary school-level coding classes or have already integrated them into the curriculum, leaving the U.S. educational system behind in equipping future workers for what is already a burgeoning industry. Come learn about coding in Hawaii and how Oceanit is working with teachers and educators state-wide using the Altino system!
Our last summer date for 2018 is coming up!
