| Description: |
On March 1, for the third year in a row, our
virtual Code-a-Thon blasts off to nine elementary
schools in Virginia! The fictional Virginia AFCEA
Space Alliance or VASA will once again travel to
Planet X for a thrilling adventure called "Grow
the Planet". Click on the video above to learn all
the details.
Our goal is to encourage the development of
coding, promote interest in STEAM, and raise cyber
awareness for the participating elementary
students and their teachers. This is the only
virtual code-a-thon event that connects public
schools, DoDEA grant schools and Department of
Defense schools in our region. Those volunteers
supporting the event also are rewarded as they
experience the thrill of making a difference in
the young lives of our participants. As some of
the teachers have noted "It is amazing to watch
students' excitement around coding and STEAM grow
throughout the day".
Please support this project through donations of
time or funds by contacting your local AFCEA
chapter representative and becoming a sponsor. |
