Since its inception in 2018, Voice of Calling NPO has been creating computer coding tutorial videos for nearly a year. At that time, our plan was to conduct outreach activities in places like Egypt, Syrian refugee centers, and Turkana, Kenya during the summer of 2020. The goal was to organize coding and robotics camps for students in these locations. Furthermore, even after we returned to the United States following the camps, we aimed to enable the students there to study independently by watching the computer coding tutorial videos we had created.
However, in December 2019, COVID-19 emerged, rapidly spreading worldwide. From March 2020 onwards, we faced an unprecedented situation where travel came to a halt, and schools across the United States closed their doors. This sudden and shocking turn of events meant that we now had to study from home, and the transition to online education was causing significant confusion for both teachers and students. Effective communication and learning were proving to be challenging.
To address these difficulties, we created voiceofcoding.com and decided to make all of our existing computer tutorial videos available for free on YouTube to students and teachers across the United States. Since our content was focused on the material needed for AP Computer Science courses, we believed it would be of great help to high school students like us. We introduced this website and emailed hundreds of U.S. high schools, hoping that our lectures would reach teachers in need of effective online teaching resources. Since then, we have continued to create and upload tutorials essential for computer coding education in middle and high schools, including problem-solving and explanations for Codingbat.com, Practice it, USACO, and CSES.
Our YouTube channel consistently receives more than 500 daily visitors, and we have received positive feedback not only from students but also from the general public. Additionally, the voiceofcoding.com website is being used effectively in our quarterly Free Coding Classes.
