After the success of DroidCon Tunisia 2013, the team of Esprit mobile (an active department in the private university Esprit) asked me to propose an event to promote coding among kids in Tunisia. I proposed to make an event during the international day Scratch day. This event never happened in Tunisia so It was a good occasion.
During the first part of the day, all the pupils did an hour of code. After that, they were organized into 2 groups according to their age: one doing scratch workshop and the others were doing an Android app making workshop using MIT APP INVENTOR. Why App Inventor in a Scratch day? Because App Inventor is still unknown and the main field of the organizer were mobile app making.
I am Adel Kassah, a computer science teacher in middle school from Tunisia. Now, I am working in the UAE (ABU DHABI) I try to promote coding culture in my country and around the world. I run after school club about programming to kids. I teach them how to make their own games, their own Android App. They learn how to program embedded system and Robotics. I also cooperate with association around Tunisia and share my expertise. I develop my own tool or improve existing one. I made several presentation in conferences about Technology and coding. Lately I was interested about the world of Internet of Things. I made a tool TUNIOT that makes easy programming the NODEMCU board.
My blog is a place where I share my experience to the world.
