| | |June 2010 we took a bold leap as a new company and decided to spend part our summer developing an Open-Source Internet Curriculum. We partnered with COSOLA-MACILE, a non-profit organization focused on K-12 education in less advantaged communities.
In July, we are travelling to Itabo, Dominican Republic to teach 6th-12th grade students and teachers about the Internet, Open-Source technology and Drupal, using Drupal Gardens as the primary teaching tool. The Pilot Program will run for approximately 2-weeks as an after school program open to interested MACILE participants.
And in August, we'd like to share our findings with the community.
In this session, we'll talk about the entire process of planning, fundraising, developing and executing the Pilot Program; the challenges and successes we faced and our plans for future of the curriculum.
