Learning Through Play project
Our story!
Since our participation in the Scratch Education Collaborative initiative, KampaBits was empowered to use equitable coding approaches to empower youth in both rural and urban settings in a bid to foster creativity and foster involvement in STEM related careers
It was of great importance that learning was to be delivered in a fun and playful way in a bid to keep the youth engaged
Scratch is the main tool used in this training setup where youth get to build projects that they are passionate about in a safe space environment.
Originality and innovation is encouraged during these sessions and also students are encouraged to get inspiration from projects from the scratch website which they can download and remix
This project is also run in school computer labs where both students and teachers get to interface with scratch and physical computing projects that are mostly in line with the STEM curriculum, this has been made possible by the raspberry scratch library that enables students build hardware and robot projects using the raspberry pi and scratch
There also exists projects directly centered to social responsibility during these trainings which focus on areas like environmental conservation, sexual reproductive health and other life skills that the main stream curriculum tends to ignore
