Great meeting today highlighted by a zoom session with Matt, of Treehouse!
Matt gave our students an overview of how they could plug into the Treehouse world community to seek help when they get "stuck" on a problem. Help is literally a click away! Matt also emphasized the best and most accelerated learning takes place when students apply what they are learning to building real world applications.
Speaking of building applications, our dynamic duo, Sully and Zack gave us an update on their efforts in building an application for U.C. We are so proud of you guys for taking this on!
Finally, the best news of all! "Drum Roll Please!" "Hallelujah Chorus1" KVCC has been informed by The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation that our funding for the coming year has been more than doubled!! WOW! Many thanks to our co-founders, advisory committee members, students and many others in the community who support our efforts to build a talent pool of young West Virginians. These funds will allow us to not only maintain our Kanawha County students but also enable us to expand into Boone and Putnam Counties.
We continue "striking for change."
