On Friday February 5th, C – Corps was visited by a group called Technology Corps (T – Corps) with San Antonio Youth Centers. They journeyed from San Antonio to observe and experience American Youthworks and programs at the school first hand. First Computer Corps showed them a power point presentation on how they operate in their refurbishing lab and the different service learning activities they do for the community.
Afterwards the C – Corps team took T – Corps on a tour. They divided them into four groups and were taken to four different locations. These locations consisted of The Garden, Refurbishing Lab, Americorps office area, and their Service Learning Academy. As the tour followed some of the T – Corps individuals were surprised of some of the programs that AYW offered. Some were intrigued that students that have children could be in the same room with their child while working on their school work. Others were blown away by a blacksmithing program and got to see some different types of work done by students.
Lastly, C – Corps played a couple of technology related games with T – Corps, answered any questions T – Corps had about their whole experience and shared our appreciation tradition.
