Ellis girls to serve as peer-to-peer tech mentors
Nearly 100 Ellis Middle and Upper School girls know Scratch, a computer programming language developed at MIT, and some have used it to develop their own games.
On Saturday, May 19, Ellis girls will serve as peer to peer mentors for other kids who may be new to scratch at Scratch Day on Saturday, May 19, at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh’s Teen Department in Oakland from 1-4 p.m.
Ellis girls are known for their math and science skills and consistently win awards at math and science. Scratch Day, geared for total newbies to advanced Scratchers, features a Scratch introduction and how-to, game creation and play, showcases, and snacks! Please contact Lisa M. Palmieri, Ph.D, Director of Instructional & Informational Technologies, if your daughter plans to serve as a peer mentor.
Scratch Day is a worldwide network of gatherings, where people come together to meet fellow Scratchers, share projects and experiences, and learn more about Scratch—a programming language that makes it easy to create and share interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art on the web. Last year, more than 125 Scratch Day events were held in 36 countries around the globe.
Pittsburgh teenagers (grades 6-12), mentors, and educators are strongly encouraged to bring a laptop to the event. Only a limited number of laptops will be provided.
Scratch Day in Pittsburgh is presented by Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Chevron Center for STEM Education and career Development at Carnegie Science Center, The Ellis School and Girls, Math & Science Partnership a program of Carnegie Science Center. This event is sponsored by The Ellis School and Spark, Supporting the Kids+Creativity Network.
The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is located in Oakland at 4400 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. Scratch Day is free.
