Service Learning
The Seidenberg School continues to attract students from across the University to its service learning courses. Students enrolled in one of multiple sections of CIS 102 or TS 105 Computers for Human Empowerment have the opportunity to teach problem-solving and programming. They show seniors how to send e-mail and perform online searches, assist any number of organizations by developing Web sites to raise their visibility, and become empowered to share their newly acquired technology knowledge with various populations in the surrounding community.
Courses offered included:
- Problem Solving using LEGO Robotics
- Intergenerational Computing
- Web Design for Non-profit Organizations
- Information Technology for Strategic Community Planning
- Computers for Human Empowerment
- Pace-Brazil Digital Divide Mission
