CG Fund provided solar power, the networking infrastructure and the training.
A five-week TIKANA – SCRATCH TRAINING course was conducted from February 2025 at the Teacher Training College in Saida. 25 teachers from 20 schools worked with two main trainers who delivered the course while four other trainers were responsible to follow up with the teachers. Each week the teachers followed a self-paced module asynchronously on their pace to discover the content, solve the activities, and learn scratch features and do practice exercises. It included an online weekly meeting with the teachers (synchronously) to follow up and answer all questions raised.
Implementation was postponed due to the current situation in Lebanon. These newly trained teachers will introduce Scratch to the students at the start of the 2025-2026 academic year.
