SCAT Fair 2017 - rero giving back to the community!

On March 3rd – 5th, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation ( MDEC ) joined the STEM PLAYGROUND during Sarawak Career and Training Fair 2017 in Kuching Sarawak and invited rero to be featured as part of the content for their activity space.  They had also rounded up an enthusiastic group of rero-trained students from Politeknik Kuching and UNIMAS to be part of the team. Needless to say, rero jumped on the opportunity to give back to the community by offering FREE coding classes to the public for 3 days! 
                                                                                         
Sarawak Chief Minister YAB Datuk Amar Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari Bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg officiated the event and popped by our booth for a chat.

                                                                                 

The fair attracted huge crowds and the STEM PLAYGROUND became a hit with visitors, especially those who brought children along.  The team of 24 rero Jr facilitators trained over 700 children on basic coding where the children get to enjoy first-hand experience learning to code and using their brand new knowledge to navigate our new programmable robot, rero Jr.
                                                                                      


It was a great productive weekend for all. A big thank you to all who were involved in the cause and a warm hug and welcome to those who had a taste of coding and hope the experience will spark a fantastic change that could lead you to an exciting future.
