I want to create an education tool that is fun for children. I would like to focus on topics that aren’t necessarily taught within schools but are important for the development in children. These can focus on information that can help understand topics such as diversity within people and how everyone is the same or it can be subjects like life-skills, social skills etc. I want to do this because I am passionate about education, especially in topics that aren’t taught in the curriculum but are helpful to a child growing up.
Themes / Subjects
Equality – Diverse people, weight, race, height, ethnicity, religion Life Skills – communication skills, street smart skills, social skills, life skills – paying bills, mortgages, debt etc. How to eat healthy, implications etc. Consequences of actions – Book and Board Game, Scenarios and play the game and deal with consequences
