My university studies introduced me to the online platform DataCamp and its service DataCamp Classrooms. I intended to use this platform as one of the teaching tools at Secondary Technical and Grammar School Smíchov where I teach programming in R. However, I later realized that this service was unavailable for secondary schools in the Czech Republic.
I asked DataCamp Social Impact Team about the possibility of making it available. I was told that adding Poland to the list of countries where this service is now available was prioritized as a gesture of help with the humanitarian crisis related to the Ukrainian refugees in Poland. Hence, I did my math and calculated in R that there are more Ukrainian refugees per 1,000 inhabitants in the Czech Republic than in Poland. On this basis, I requested prioritizing adding the Czech Republic to the list. Subsequently, I obtained the list of secondary schools' private email domains from the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports and forwarded it to the DataCamp team. Now I am looking forward to the next school year with help of DataCamp. I was told that there are now 20 new Ukrainian students at our school.
Mé vysokoškolské studia mne zasvětily do online platformy DataCamp a jejich služby DataCamp Classrooms. Chtěl jsem původně používat tuto platformu jako jeden z učících nástrojů na Smíchovské střední průmyslové škole a Gymnáziu, kde učím programování v R. Bohužel jsem však později zjistil, že tato služba není dostupná pro střední školy v České republice a zeptal jsem DataCamp podpory na možnost zdostupnění.
Bylo mi řečeno, že přidání Polska na seznam zemí, kde tato služba je v současnosti dostupná, bylo prioritizováno jako gesto pomoci s humanitární krizí s ukrajinskými uprchlíky v Polsku. Tudíž, jsem v Rku spočítal, že v České republice je více ukrajinských uprchlíku na 1 000 obyvatel než v Polsku a na tomto základě jsem požádal o prioritizování přidání České republiky na seznam. Následně jsem získal od Ministerstvo školství, mládeže a tělovýchovy seznam privátních emailových domén středních škol, přeposlal ho DataCamp týmu a teď se těším na následující školní rok za pomoci DataCampu. Dozvěděl jsem se, že máme 20 nových ukrajinských studentů na naší škole.
