INVITATION: Aztech Kidz Code (AKC) graduation happening this Saturday, August 10th, 9-11:30 am at Mendez MS Auditorium—PLS RSVP

Dear Friends:

On behalf of our coordinator, Katya Guzman, I write to cordially invite you all to our Aztech Kidz Code (AKC) graduation happening this Saturday, August 10th from 9-11:30am at Mendez Middle School Auditorium. 

Aztech Kidz Code Summer camp is an outgrowth of our Saturday School, Academia Cuauthli that recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary.

This is the 4th annual AKC graduation. 
Our goal is to create a space where students can learn about the contributions of the Mayan, Olmec, and Aztec civilizations to STEM, while also creating a space for students to explore their own diverse identities within a supportive community. At Academia Cuauhtli and AKC, we envision mutual respect for diverse cultures and an ongoing exchange of cultural traditions as the foundation for peace in our troubled world.

At the ceremony, you will have the opportunity to witness AKC students' final coding projects, as well as performances of Danza Mexica and Son Jarocho featuring the live musicians Fandangueros de Austin. The students have been working hard to prepare and we would love to have you all there! The itinerary is down below:
  • 9am-9:30am: Breakfast
  • 9:30am-10am: Coding demonstration
  • 10am-10:45am: Danza Mexica and Son Jarocho presentation ft. Fangandueros de Austin
  • 10:45am-11:20am: Certificate ceremony (Councilmember José Velasquez [INVITED] will deliver some remarks)

Please kindly RSVP by 12pm on Thursday, August 8th, 2024 to confirm your attendance. Should you have any special dietary requirements or need assistance with accessibility, please let us know, and we will be happy to accommodate your needs.
