This week in class we started to learn about a new project that we will be creating. For this project we are working in groups to create lessons on Scratch to teach children about puberty. Emma Kemp has researched all of the information and has laid out the entire outline for this project. With her information we will be making interactive and informative Scratch projects. This class used to use Etoys for this type of work so it will be a new challenge for us to create the lessons within Scratch. The reason why we are making these lessons is to help a school Ms. Murakami has been connected with called Akili Prep School in Kissimu, Kenya. This is a day and boarding school for girls from ages 9-15. We will be releasing these lessons to the girls at this school and to anyone who would like to use them. Everyone should be informed on the way their body changes and how to get through that time in their life, and being able to teach others who either don’t know or aren’t fully informed is an amazing thing. I’m excited to get to work on my project and teach the girls about their body and the way it works, which is something every girl should be comfortable with. It will be difficult to work a lesson into Scratch but I am ready to take on the task. We will be working on this project for the rest of the semester and I look forward to doing it!
