A common thread running through all IB Programmes is the commitment to service learning. From the beginning of an IB student’s education, they are exposed to, and participate in, hands-on efforts to help others through the IB Mission which is, in part, to create a better and more peaceful world. Years ago Stu Keroff began a service club at a local IB School in Minnesota that collected and refurbished old computers and then gave them to students and families in need. They used the open source Linux operating system to make the effort (and the computers) affordable. When I heard Stu had taken this idea to his new (non-IB) school, I thought it was an idea worth sharing with the greater IB world. In this episode, we talk to Stu and several of his students from Aspen Academy in Savage, Minnesota. Listen to hear directly from Stu and his students how the program works and how you can use a program similar to this to provide for your local community.The idea is so well-suited to IB schools around the world because students of all ages whether in PYP, MYP, DP, or CP could replicate this work in some form. Students featured in this episode: Cam Citrowske, Ethan Tinega, Jayden AnundaLinks:www.linuxclubguide.comhttps://twitter.com/studoeslinuxhttps://aspenacademymn.org/penguin-corps/https://kstp.com/news/middle-school-students-tech-skills-help-others-learn-from-home/5854002/https://opensource.com/article/20/7/donate-linuxhttps://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/09/11/students-at-shakopee-school-fix-computers-and-give-them-to-classmateshttps://www.swnewsmedia.com/savage_pacer/news/local/news_briefs/aspen-academy-wins-stem-innovation-award/article_ea83a343-8498-5be7-a2dd-13f1dc988380.htmlEmail studoeslinux@gmail.comIB Matters WebsiteEmail IB Matters: IBMatters@mnibschools.orgTwitter @MattersIBIB Matters websiteMN Association of IB World Schools (MNIB) websiteDonate to IB MattersTo appear on the podcast or if you would like to sponsor the podcast, please contact us at the email above.
