GenD x ISCO

GenD spent 2 whole weeks teaching children (grades 9-11) at ISCO Foundation about being good and well informed audiences and creators on the surface of online technology. Through this collaboration, GenD hopes to ensure that these young adults get to carry this knowledge with them as they grow to do outstanding things or even as they graduate to university and schools alike. 

Early August marked the beginning of the first week of the ISCO collaboration, starting off on teaching the students how to create their own ID Cards using the application Canva. The students learned to use their own pictures and descriptions of themselves to include in the ID Cards, simultaneously learning different aspects of Canva like how to add and edit text, including images in a specific format, and even learning to personalize the templates given by Canva.

As for the second week, GenD mainly focused on the topic of making life easier (and more organized) by using the Google Sheets application to create a to-do list. The students learned how to utilize the smart chips features and dropdown format for each column of the sheet. The students also learned how to use different formulas to their advantage, making the usage of Google Sheets much simpler to use as a whole. Additionally, the students there learned to create their own Curriculum Vitaes (CVs), starting off by creating CVs of other celebrities beforehand. Then they created CVs of their own, a skill that can be carried on as they go and get a job in the future. 

With that, GenD hopes that the students at the ISCO foundation learned something useful throughout these sessions, skills that they can use whenever they need to do so in the future of their lives.
