RE: Steemit Update [ July 29th, 2024 ] : Steemit Engagement Challenge Season 19 - Week 4

in #steemitlast month (edited)

What are your opinions on the new Teaching Teams versus the traditional style of Engagement Challenges?

I think the idea is a very good one. Over the past few weeks, I have learned a lot from the various teaching teams. As a computer scientist and a Teacher in the high school, the teaching team has helped me to learn a lot.

I think the teaching team should be selected based on topics that are general and affect all users.

Everyone goes to school and that is why we have the brilliant teachers team to educate us on how to properly teach students and methods to help the students understand better. Here both students and teachers are guided.

Programming is a course that everyone can also learn because you don't need additional devices or material to learn it. Your smartphone or computer which you use for blogging initially can solve the task. You must not be a science student to learn programming so it is a general knowledge everyone is expected to have.

For the electronic teams, I think they are giving a contest that everyone can't enter based on their requirements. Devices they use for their practicals are not something regular and for that reason, many people don't enter the contest.

Most of these devices they use are very expensive and most users who will want to participate can't lay their hands on it.

So my opinion is that teaching teams should always have a contest that doesn't require Steemians to get extra devices to perform a task since we are not all science students and we are not all commercial students. There should be a balance ⚖️.

  • Electronics is practical or what people might call "DIY", NOT an essay writing. It is more of designing, building, testing, and troubleshooting electronic circuits. And these all involves components and tools. If this program must have values, it has to be like what people learn in real lives on a particular skills. This way, they can even use what they learn in real life too. (We understand this is not really easy for those who doesn't have interest at all in this skill or for the copy and paste users who are only interested on votes.)

  • Components can be found in most electronics repairs shops. Seriouse and interested users who really wants to learn can always sacrifice that. Additionally, in Nigeria we have Jumia and Konga, other countries have where those components could be purchased either online or in a physical shop.

  • As for their prices, they are not really expensive as you emphasized.
