Gold Crown and Museo de los Niños Collaborate!

The progress of the mural is going better than we anticipated. We have a group of new members helping us out from back home...that`s right! Gold Crown Computer Clubhouse located in Denver, Colorado, is pitching in with some great ideas that we have happily added to the mural design. As a part of our project goals, the opportunity to have both the Museo de los Niños and Gold Crown work together has been just as important as the mural itself. Our goal is to lead by example so that other Clubhouses around the world will be inspired to collaborate with all the great technology available these days...Skype ROCKS! Each time we have had a Skype meeting the kids get more and more excited to come up with new ways to communicate with each other. They have even talked about doing language exchange courses!

Tracing the Design
Gold Crown members have offered to create things to compliment our original design focused on identity. The meetings that we have had have brought up great conversations and debates on personal identity, community identity and so on. To their surprise, these members share a lot of the same interests and were able to come up with a collection of ideas to create a beautiful and meaningful mural. Below are some pictures to show our progress so far...one more canvas to go, stay tuned!
