Class Updates 

Get ready to be impressed by the amazing work our students have accomplished in our UI and UX class! In this exciting course, students explored the ins and outs of app development, discussing everything from the nitty-gritty details of UI and UX design principles to the more abstract concepts of user experience and engagement.

Through a series of challenging projects, students put their skills to the test, taking on advanced tasks like creating a Surprise App with fun sound effects, mastering the Pronunciation Guide to link sound and display, and even learning how to create and interpret barcodes!

But this wasn't just any ordinary class. Our goal was to give students a hands-on experience of the development process, helping them develop a deep understanding of the subject matter and encouraging them to detect and solve problems with critical thinking skills. We're thrilled to say they exceeded our expectations, producing truly innovative designs that showcase their creativity, ingenuity, and technical skills.

We couldn't be more proud of our talented students and can't wait to see what the future holds for these up-and-coming app developers!

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.

We are thrilled to announce that our star coder, Hadif, has truly impressed us with his remarkable coding skills and outstanding work ethic. Not only is he an exceptional coder, but he is also an outstanding individual who goes above and beyond to ensure his projects are completed to the highest standard.

Throughout the lessons, this student has consistently demonstrated an unparalleled ability to complete projects quickly and efficiently while maintaining exceptional results with very few errors. His ability to think outside the box and quickly solve problems has allowed him to excel in his journey. Furthermore, he has shown eagerness to learn and explore new areas of coding, taking on extra projects even after completing his assigned work.

Hadif's dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed and are truly inspiring to his peers. We are confident that this talented and hardworking student will continue to achieve great things in his coding journey, and we can't wait to see his future projects. Once again, congratulations on being named our star coder!

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 first 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 

We proudly present to you - Telebort.io! Telebort.io is a newly-launched website by Telebort to share a series of information to students considering to take Computer Science as a major. It will also be a global-learning platform available 24/7 for self-paced learning. Other than that, feel free to spot some interesting events that we will post on this website in the future! It might be collaboration events or our own information-sharing sessions. Don’t miss out on these opportunities!
