Updates from your friends at the Advancing Culturally-Relevant Computing Project

Aloha Kākou!

The Advancing Culturally Relevant Computing (aCRC) team hopes you’re doing well and that Quarter 3 is going smoothly!

You should have recently received an invitation to complete our aCRC Post-Workshop survey. The goal of this survey is to evaluate the aCRC materials you were trained on this past summer and see how you have implemented them (or not) in your classrooms and/or schools. Even if you haven’t had a chance to use these materials, the team wants to hear your feedback and see what we can change, improve, or continue to do! We have extended the survey deadline to Monday, March 18th to allow feedback from as many participants as possible.

Completing the survey automatically enters you into the raffle to win a class set of Microbits! We’ll select one winner from each workshop, so complete the survey today to share your mana’o and claim your chance to win!

Dr. Dan Hoffman shares more about this survey and its goals in this short video. You can access the survey here.
