OSC Workshop

On Friday, February 22nd, OSC team members put on a workshop to connect with students at Perspectives Charter Schools and teach them about IPRO.

One of our good friends and past team members, Mikie Smit (Founder of WorldServe) came along with us.  He had a great time interacting with the 12th graders.  Here are some of his thoughts:

"Last Friday, I attended the Open Source Construction guest lecture series at Perspectives Charter Schools.  Not only did I get to attend, but I also had the opportunity to teach a small group about OSC.  Basically, I facilitated while the students worked on solving real world problems. Besides being a lot of fun working with the high schoolers, it was awesome to watch them connect with a world bigger than themselves.  We wanted to show them that they can make a difference, and that their ideas could impact people in need." 

Here are some photos from the workshop as well:
