Although we did not have time to finish an action project, what would you think would have been something you could have done with an app to help students learn better or get to school when transportation is a problem?
- One potential idea for an app that would allow students to more easily get to school is to incorporate a GPS app that would find the best route to their school and calculate how long it would take to get there depending on weather conditions or other situations in which transportation may take longer or be more difficult. This app would hypothetically allow students to still be on time to school by taking measures against unexpected situations like bad weather.
Although our ability to influence a global issue is limited when we work alone, what do you think you could do with the help of an organization already in existence to make computer science education more accessible globally?
- With the assistance of a dedicated organization, the process of implementing and gathering resources that allow for computer science education would be much easier than if someone were to do it alone. A well-led organization can reach more people in need through their numbers and therefore will be able to make a larger impact on a greater number of people who are in need of it.
Lastly, reflect on what you have learned through this WE service learning project and how it has influenced your global view of education.
- This WE service learning project helped me to brainstorm possible solutions to help solve the crisis of lack of technology and access to education in poor and developing areas of the world. It has helped me understand the significance that proper access to education can have in a country or region and why it is important to secure the right to education for those who are most in need of it.
