iLab Southeast Asia

We are confident that Kawsang will continue to provide the excellent service. We are excited to have you join us in celebrating the success of realizing our vision for the iLabSEA and we very much appreciate your participation in this success & continued collaboration w/ Kawsang

After 13 years of service to our local community, we are thrilled to announce that InSTEDD has closed our iLabSEA and the team from the iLabSEA has now established an independent social enterprise organization, Kawsang (kawsang.com). @kawsangtech

Our original vision when we established the iLabSEA was that it would ultimately become a separate entity, locally owned and operated, in a model that provides social benefit and fits within the local economy.

InSTEDD would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of our partners for the years of exceptional collaboration with the InSTEDD iLab Southeast Asia and for your contribution to its success in providing important solutions for social good.

After three months, the consultative workshop on ICT Curriculum Revision in the Code.org platform has now come to a closing. Congratulation to all the teachers for completing this training. Thank you Kampuchea Action to Promote Education​​​ for your great support.

Our InSTEDD team is pleased to be recognized as a good partner with Nickol Global Solution as well as API​​​ in the project USAID One Window for Citizens (OW4C).

When it comes to selecting a partner organization, If well-selected, it accelerates the work​​​​​​ and increases the effectiveness of the results (practical and localized context). Check out this article from @NickolGlobal medium.com/@NickolGlobal/fre…

Up next, there will be two more consultative workshops and 3 more TOTs to be held and their focus is on the grades 10-11.

Today, another consultative workshop on ICT Curriculum Revision in the Code.org platform from grades 7-11 has been conducted. In the past few months, InSTEDD and Kampuchea Action to Promote Education have conducted 8 consultative workshops and 2 ToTs already.

Our tech solution, the National Hotline System for Improving Infectious Disease Surveillance and Outbreak Response, has been chosen to be among the other 30 winners by the World Health Organization Western Pacific Region.  who.int/westernpacific/news/…

Shout out to everyone in this photo who joined us yesterday working on code.org translation. Special thanks to the Cambodia Academy of Digital Technology - CADT once again for that comfortable and spacious venue. Thank you guys so much! #CodingCambodia #ICT #Coding

Last year we wrapped up a translation phase and this year, this April 23, we are hosting another. We will keep that going until our goal is reached. #CodingCambodia #ICT #Coding #cambodiacodeorgcommunity #volunteer

The curriculum mainly focuses on Coding, Computational Thinking and Problem Solving. InSTEDD, KAPE team and ICT teachers from all NGS will be working together to improve four main parts in the curriculum: Course Syllabus, Lesson Plan, Teaching Guide, and Slide Presentation.

This is what we were up to in the past week of March. We have been working together for ICT Curriculum Revision in Code.org platform from grade 7 to 11 to benefit all students and teachers at New Generation Schools​​​ (NGS). #ICTcambodia #coding #codingcambodia

The purpose of this workshop is to develop ICT Computational Thinking curriculum for the new generation of schools to make it more efficient and suitable for both the teachers and the students. Stay tuned for more updates in the future! #ICTcambodia #coding #codingcambodia

Before last weekend, our InSTEDD team and @kapeaction has organized a workshop about ICT Computational Thinking Curriculum development for NGS in Cambodia. The workshop is conducted with the IT teachers from 6 NGS.

A huge part of Human-Centered Design (HCD) is human. HCD is a creative approach to problem-solving that starts with people and ends with innovative solutions that are tailor-made to suit their needs. This is why this motto, "If we don't go, we won't know", exists.

Because of their participation and feedback, the results have been met with their needs as well as those of others in the same field with them. We would like to thank DAI and USAID for trusting the process and their continuous support throughout the whole program.

In fact, we conduct a series of validation with small and medium-sized entrepreneurs. The first was when we drafted the lesson plan, the second was when we planned the hybrid online tutorial via Zoom, which uses Google Forms and some pre-recorded videos.

Shout out to some volunteering MSMEs for their participation during the design and validating process of the project. They have helped us a lot in providing discussions about their needs, as well as validating our proposed solutions.
