Instructional Design
Nayah-Irú
Nayah-Irú is a critical data literacy curriculum for secondary education learners. The curriculum supports youth in co-discovering the materialization of data and algorithms in their lives using speculative fiction and an alternate reality game. During the implementation, youth conduct research projects about data in their communities and present their findings at the MIPARTE youth research conference.
Casavalle Dreams
Casavalle Dreams is a filmmaking project designed to support youth from Casavalle in Montevideo, Uruguay, to engage in English as a foreign language. Providing youth with opportunities to write, script, act and produce short films in English, we found new avenus to design culturally relevant experiences in a foreign language. This project was funded by the US Embassy in Montevideo and a crowdsourcing campaign. Seven short films were produced and seven youth from public and private schools in Casavalle produced a film in Vashon Island, Seattle (see news report).
