The trainer of the IDEA Rivne Training Center of NGO “Chaika” (Gull), together with specialists of the Center of Social Services for Family, Children and Youth, visited a family-type children home on July 20, where more than 15 underage children are raised. During the visit, representatives of the social center communicated with the caregivers about the peculiarities of preparing children for independent living and the development of children's creative and intellectual abilities. At this time, the IDEA coach held a training for the young people on the selection of the future occupation, with particular emphasis on the IT sector. Also, by using special cards, the trainer carried out a class on the topic "Hour of Code without computers". Children willingly accomplished simple tasks and plunged into the world of programming. Some children got interested in this development platform and have already tried to use it online.
