Pi aims to allow everyday people from all walks of life to contribute to the security of the cryptocurrency and the success of its community. The team believes this meritocratic principle, as well as Pi's inclusivity, are positioning it to become the world's most widely used cryptocurrency.Sep 16, 2019

the CS FIRST WITH GOOGLE AT WORLD UNIV AND SCH course
Dear Mwende, Universitians,
How are you? And how is the CS FIRST WITH GOOGLE AT WORLD UNIV AND SCH course going for you -
https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home? It looks like you are almost done with your work and learning how to program with Scratch programming language projects. Please let us know when you are done!
Best wishes, Scott
WUaS News and Q & A today 4/4/22

Good evening Mr Scott,
I hope this finds you well.
I am done with Scratch Programming. i look forward to matriculating in the coming days or weeks.
Best Regards.
*
I equally look forward to getting my certification in Scratch Programming.

Hi VOLCANO,
Congratulations, Mwende! As I look through the course, I see that the following projects (each with their multiple lessons) are only partially completed:
Characterization
Interactive Presentation
Dialogue
Narration
Figurative Language
CS First Unplugged
Code Your Hero
Pitch Your Passion
Animate a Name
... while most of the later units or projects are complete. Could you please finish these projects above completely before I send you the WUaS Certificate?
(And the first one on Characterization we've already talked about, and since it seemed to involve you knowing Spanish, please skip finishing this one).
I think you'll learn a lot more about Scratch programming by completing these, and it will be a good way to bring the course full circle, regarding a kind of mastery learning.
I noted regarding the draft of your certificate of completion (which I shared with you and Universitians yesterday), which has -
g.co/csfirst/more - on it that yesterday
ocw.mit.edu was the first link here, but today
scratch.mit.edu is the first link. So please stay tuned - and especially regarding academic credit (which this CS First course makes easy, but where MIT OCW courses are more complicated in terms of credit questions), - and as I wait to learn what CS First with Google has in store for next steps that would follow taking this Scratch programming "CS First with Google at WUaS" course.
Looking forward to your evaluation of "CS First with Google at World University" ... When you've completed the above projects, could you possibly please, in a paragraph or a single page, share what you liked about "CS First with Google at World University," what you did not like, what you learned, what would you do differently if you created the course, and/or recommend to its programmers, having just completed it, and other related thinking that comes to your mind?
Congratulations, and certificate to come,
Scott

Mwende Evande's evaluation of the CC-4 licensed 'CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch' course
W, April 6, 2022
Thanks for your email Mr Scott.
I had completed the courses but the other parts which indicated that I had not completed them were the Spanish sections of the same exercises which I had already completed. However, I went through the entire English and Spanish sections and it is complete.
I really enjoyed scratch programming because the syntax is very similar to python apart from the fact that python is a text based language. I enjoyed every project and exercise and all this while I was imagining creating some of those things using python.
For the meantime, when I tell people about what I am doing, they just look at it like a type of recreation but by the time I get matriculated, get some internships and show proof of how serious this is, I think they will take it more seriously.
I look forward to taking any evaluation, receiving my certificate, matriculating and getting into real Computer Science and Programming. I am particularly interested in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robotics and Python happens to be the best programming language for this purpose. Java however is better for enterprise applications but I want to focus on Python and know it so much that I could still make high-end enterprise applications using Python if I want to. I know it is going to be challenging, verry challenging but I am prepared.
There is an African proverb that says that "if the wish and the will are strong enough, provision will be made". I look forward the paying the price, putting in the hours and the work to get it done.
Once more thank you Mr Scott and WUaS for this amazing opportunity.
Best Regards, Mwende.

Dear Larry (and Kim),
Glad to have just heard back from Mwende Evande, and even with a kind of evaluation of the CC-4 "CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch" course -
https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home (per your thinking and suggestion, Larry, in WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on 3/19/22 -
https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2022/03/31922-agenda-news-for-open-world-univ.html - Minutes still to come). See below. Thoughts, questions, before I share the WUaS Certificate of Completion with Mwende (and see attached). He said all the other CS First projects or units had a similar Spanish language issue (to the first unit) regarding the 100% completion graph in the course, - so that he's completed the course. This makes sense, and I think we can give him the WUaS Certificate of Completion. Thoughts about this?
Larry, we're both on the 'Academic CREDIT Committee' (
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation - and I recently changed this name from 'Academic ACCREDITATION Committee," FYI - and will add this to the 4/16/22 Agenda Items for MBM too - and partly since BPPE and WASC senior, as licensing and accrediting agencies, seem 'down for the count' and partly because the course 'CS First WithGoogle at World Univ & Sch engages certain standards explicitly ... so CS First with Google is thinking in terms of these questions too from a MOOC perspective ... thank you Peter Norvig?)
Per the 3/19/22 Minutes too, and potentially seeking asylum on the east coast after the 3rd lease (month-long, for this April 2022) is up at the end of this April, or possibly moving back into Canyon 94516 regarding the WUaS Corporation even, and a new WUaS property possibly, and while living in a 'safe house' north of Berkeley, am glad to have heard yesterday morning from my friend Ed Smyth, offering to give me a hand with the move. Am not sure where I'll be moving yet, and it looks like Cuttyhunk could be a possibility newly too arriving around May 4-7 (per perhaps a change in my mother's approach as owner for me to use the house there - in my possibly seeking asylum from the latent networks of violence of the illegal sex and drug industries, in the SF Bay Area, or on the west coast, for example). So now I can get the 3/19/22 Minutes out in some of these regards.
While Mwende is expressing interest in a "Python language course, and potentially with Lego Spike Prime Robotics' kits" WUaS still doesn't have this course available, or the Lego Robotics' kits for Cameroon, paid for (in poorer 'than developed' countries) by departments of Education, - but it's possible such a course will emerge before May1 but possibly also by September 1, from CS First and possibly with the Lego Institute 2 of Peter's (speculatively). Mwende is seeking to matriculate immediately, but WUaS doesn't really have any courses yet (re CC-4
ocw.mit.edu), regarding the WUaS "Academic Credit Committee," which are like the "CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch" - where WUaS can unambiguously give a certificate of completion. Thoughts about this too?
Sincerely, Scott
