The non-profit has renewed more than 40 computers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This summer, the computer science professor at North Campus shipped the electronics to an orphanage and two local schools in Belize. Next year, he plans to extend the program to include 10 additional schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe wanted to inspire the youth of Belize to choose STEM careers,\u201d Gabb said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the project will continue to expand. North Campus will offer a six-week study abroad course next summer to support the program. Their goal is to repurpose 100 computers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The desktop computers will be renovated by students in four computer support courses offered at Miami Dade College this spring. In summer A, a contingent of students will take the machines to Belize. The group will be there for five weeks to set up the equipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anthony Lee, a computer science professor at North Campus, will be charged with helping the\u00a0 students fix the computers. They are expected to gain experience working with other cultures and a deeper appreciation for service learning.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the computers go online in Belize, students will have access to <\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/code.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">code.org<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a site teaches kids coding without a teacher\u2019s assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is going to be a great joint effort between Miami Dade College, led by Dr. George Gabb and persons or organizations there in Belize, that\u2019s going to build a great long-term relationship that will allow students there to have our technology,\u201d Lee said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gabb, who has visited Belize four times in the past decade, has a vested interest in the initiative. The 54-year-old was born in Belize and moved to the United States when he was 17 to pursue an education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the late 80s, he earned an associates degree from Broward College. He eventually added a bachelor&#8217;s in psychology, a master\u2019s in computer information and a law degree, all from Nova Southeastern University.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By 1998, Gabb was tabbed as chairperson of the North Campus EnTec Department, a position he held until 2013. He has been a computer information systems professor for the past nine years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gabb hopes the study abroad project to Belize blazes a path for more cultural exchange opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis project brings exposure and experience and learning opportunities, both academically and socially, for MDC students,\u201d Gabb said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To find out more about the study abroad project to Belize, contact George Gabb at <\/span><\/i><a href=\"mailto:ggabb@mdc.edu\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ggabb@mdc.edu<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.us19.list-manage.com\/subscribe?u=4fc6146412415baee32007fd7&amp;id=b5cd3712dc\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> here<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to subscribe to our bi-weekly newsletter, The Hammerhead.
