“The expert in anything was once a beginner.” —Helen Hayes

Dear parents and students, welcome to our class newsletter. We hope this update finds you all healthy, happy and ready to learn. Our Program B: Mobile Apps Development has come to an end and we are incredibly proud of each and every one of you for completing the program. 

Throughout the program, you developed important coding skills and tackled coding challenges with determination and a willingness to learn. Coding offers endless possibilities for creativity and problem-solving, and we believe you have the potential to achieve great things. Thank you for being a part of Program B: Mobile Apps Development, and congratulations again on your graduation. 

Next, we would like to take a moment to reflect on the progress we’ve made in class so far, and also share some interesting topics that shall interest you. 

From updates on our latest projects and lessons to showing some precious moments of the class, we aim to keep you informed and engaged in this meaningful education progress. In this edition of the class newsletter, we will be sharing some updates and pictures from the lessons, revealing our Star Coder, introducing a special awareness day in May and the latest happenings in Telebort. Happy Reading!

Class Updates 

In our recent lessons, students have had the opportunity to develop mobile apps through various stages. We introduced them to front-end and back-end development, allowing them to gain hands-on experience with user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design principles, and understand what makes a mobile app successful and in demand.

Throughout this project, students were evaluated not only on their coding skills and knowledge, but also on their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Their creativity was the ship that carried them towards their goals, while their critical thinking acted as the captain who steered them through challenges and obstacles. And their problem-solving skills were the sailors who worked together to reach their destination.

By incorporating both front-end and back-end development skills, this project allowed students to gain a well-rounded understanding of mobile app development and prepared them for success in the field. We are proud of their hard work and dedication and look forward to seeing the amazing apps they will continue to create in the future.

Great job in grasping these concepts while being able to implement it onto our designated projects! We're excited to see you all continuing to grow and excel in your coding abilities!

Star Coder 

In this section, we'll be shining the spotlight on one outstanding student in our coding class - The Star Coder. The student will be chosen based on overall performances, who has demonstrated a strong understanding of the material, shown a positive attitude, or contributed to the overall success of the class. 

Congratulations on being selected as the star coder!  Your creativity, attention to detail, independence, and willingness to put in extra effort have truly set you apart. Your prompt responses and innovative solutions demonstrate your commitment to excellence, and your dedication to your craft is evident in the exceptional quality of your work. Keep up the excellent work, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing things you will accomplish!

Our goal with this section is to celebrate the effort of our students while motivating everyone to showcase incredible talents within our coding community. Congratulations to our Star Coder, and we look forward to seeing more of you to strive for excellence!

A Glimpse into our Classroom 

Awareness Day In May   

The objective of an Awareness Day in the class newsletter is to raise awareness among our students about the importance of coding and its impact on various aspects of our daily lives. We also want to celebrate the creativity and innovation that coding brings to our society and acknowledge the contributions of those who work tirelessly to develop and advance coding technologies. 

On May 23rd every year, people in the US celebrate the National Medical Coder Day. National Medical Coder Day is dedicated to celebrating the work and dedication of medical coders. Coders are committed to the analysis and classification of medical data. The information gathered by medical coders is used by companies, organizations, and even the government because it is essential to improve the healthcare management system. That’s cool, right? Perhaps some of you might be a medical coder one day? We’ll see! 

Happenings in Telebort

CodeMaven 2.0 event 

‍
In conjunction with ITU’s Girls in ICT (GICT) Day on 27th April 2023, USM collaborated with Telebort to launch CodeMaven 2.0: Girls2Code program. This is to inspire and empower young women nationwide to explore opportunities in the field of ICT from an early age. 💪🏻👧🏻 

The event emphasized creative computing, such as crafting dynamic and interactive computing media using Scratch. Through the creation of animated stories, the activities sought to foster fundamental coding concepts learning. The CodeMaven 2.0 program included one virtual launch session on April 28th, 2023, followed by four online asynchronous mini coding workshops called CodeBytes from April 28th to May 1st, 2023, and one physical coding challenge named CodeJam on May 6th, 2023. With the support of students and parents, the initiative attracted 142 participants nationwide. 

It’s truly a meaningful program, for us and also the participants. Stay tuned for more events to come! In the meanwhile, check out some of the exciting moments during our CodeMaven 2.0 launching day!

Telebort.io
