Projects in technology such as coding and robotics are important for children because it helps them develop skills that are useful in the real world, such as problem-solving, creativity, and resilience. Join us for an engaging conversation with YASC Board members Judy Kessen Crawford ’76 (former), Karen Green ’78, and Alfred Renaud ’97 as we discuss the importance of coding and robotics for children on YASC trips. You will also hear from past trip participants regarding their experiences with these projects. We hope you will join us and learn more about how you can get involved with future trips.
Yale Alumni Service Corps (YASC) is a volunteer-led initiative committed to community-driven, sustainable service. Serving where communities have invited our participation, we collaborate with local communities, organizations, and Yale University partners to assist communities in addressing their self-identified needs and goals. YASC presents opportunities for alumni, family, and friends to come together, use their diverse talents in locally prioritized projects in the arts, education, sports, health, and economic development to serve communities in need, promote mutual cross-cultural awareness and make change together. Since 2008, YASC has conducted 30 volunteer programs in 10 countries, 5 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.
