Virtual Engagement - Why?
The COVID - 19 pandemic has affected our school systems and especially in these difficult times it is important not to leave anyone behind. Encouraging e-learning and helping young people to master technology is the only way to ensure that they can keep up with rapid developments. In order to enable them to seize opportunities and actively participate in shaping the future.

Programming
SCRATCH is a online platform that offers FREE programming lessons to kids. Essential programming skills can be learned in a playful way by creating stories, games and animations. Scratch helps young people to think creatively, act systematically and work together.
GoTeach organized a programming workshop/competition with the Title "Programming Video Games to Design the Future. " 58 young girls and boys supported by SOS CV Quito participated in the contest. The first price was a LAPTOP and the second price was a TABLET. The course was conducted over the e-learning platform "E-CLICK" of SOS CV Ecuador.
"I am participating in this contest/course, to have fun and learn but also because I want to win the computer that would be very useful for me when I go to University".
