- 9. Mission and Values ! Shannon Code and Play aims to articulate a social movement that will reach a large number of Spanish kids with the goal to create a positive impact on society.! ! Sparking the interest for coding, robotics and science in boys, and especially girls, is critical for a prosperous future.! ! In the short term, both girls and boys will benefit greatly by learning important skills for their future. In the long term, we will create a critical mass of skilled people that will stimulate social and tech entrepreneurship while generating thousands of qualified jobs and wealth.! ! We are guided by 3 areas:!
- 10. Technology 1 ! Code and Robotics will be the “linguae francae” of the future. We will empower the kids’ innate curiosity towards new technologies, and stimulate their abilities to make the most of them.! ! Kids will evolve from being just consumers to creators, and will do so at an early age - when they can learn better and more easily.! ! Creating and nurturing a breeding ground for future programmers and computer scientists will generate a robust ecosystem of tech experts prone to generate extraordinary wealth.!
- 11. Creativity 2 ! We understand creativity as the most determinant value both in professional and personal success in today’s society, where creativity is a basic for adaptation. ! ! We rely on playful methods in order to encourage creativity in problem-solving, collaboration, organizational capacity, adversity management and other social and tech skills. These skills will always help them whether they pursue a career in tech or science, or not.!
- 12. Humanism 3 ! We encourage the development of a humanistic morality through respect for moral behavior, the work well done, solidarity and respect for the others in order to create better workers, business professionals, entrepreneurs and of course, individuals.! ! We walk the talk. We focus on gender equality: It is our goal to enroll at least 50% girls in our programs to break the current gender inequality barrier in the tech field and place attention on disadvantaged groups: we will offer a complete and extensive grant program in order to include as many disadvantaged kids as possible.!
- 13. Learning is a game
- 14. Learning is a game - Methodologies ! We use methodologies based on playing and collaboration developed by experts in Computer Science, Education and Psychology, all from leading institutions such as Stanford, Princeton, and Harvard.! ! We rely on an already developed selection of platforms with proven success: code.org, Khan Academy, Scratch-MIT, Google, LEGO, MOOC initiatives, etc.!
