SCRATCH PROJECT in Rwanda

VVOB Rwanda, in partnership with Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB) and the Rwanda Coding Academy (RCA) is piloting a project to be implemented in 2 years in Kayonza district with the financial support of the Belgian Government through ENABEL. The aim of the Scratc²h 2050 pilot project is to equip at least 135 ICT and STEM teachers of approximately 45 secondary schools in Kayonza district with the competences needed to initiate and facilitate after school Scratc²h 2050 coding clubs for secondary school learners and to integrate Scratch into ICT and STEM lesson plans. To this end, VVOB will train secondary school STEM and ICT teachers on coding and its benefits through blended learning. After training, they will continue to develop professionally through participation in ongoing online and biannual face-to-face ScratchEd Meetups supported by RCA.
