We've been working more with Scratch over the past week, designing projects and finding cool tricks and tips so that if the St. John kids want to go above and beyond, we'll be able to teach them. Monday we celebrated International Day of the Girl, and the whole school heard a speech from Sarah Naguib, a CSG alum from the class of '13 who took the OLPC program to a whole new level, raising almost $35,000 to buy 100 laptops to ship to Egypt. Her presentation was inspiring, and it was great to hear how much the work we're doing has an impact all across the globe, from Egypt to Lesotho to the Philippines. I've heard nothing but good things about the trip to St. John and I can't wait to go and get to interact with kids in a more hands-on way and teach them the Scratch skills I've been learning.
