3rd Ecosave Workshop - Scratch Games and Water Bag

    Once again, we opened up another workshop with the purpose to educate the kids and give them a better understanding about edible insects, endangered animals, and water. We started off by reusing our endangered animals and edible insects presentations from the previous workshops. The "Open Hands" water filter was also brought back. Due to the lack of club members, each person was responsible for 4-5 children. The presentation was very similar to the ones we used in the past. We did this hoping that it would refresh the kids' memory and help them get a better understanding.

    Next, we introduced the kids to a game that each one of us individually made. We created a simple game using the application "Scratch." The games were based off insects to rekindle the concept of edible insects. For approximately 20 minutes, all the kids had a chance to play each game a few times. Some found it boring, while others thought it was surprisingly interesting. Overall, it was a successful session.

    Lastly, we decided to make a quiz for all the kids that participated in this workshop. It was an individual game without teams or groups. The 3 winners from this quiz game were given special presents such as water bottle, notebook, etc. However, at the end, we gave everyone goodie bags and closed the workshop.

   Over the three workshops, it was humbling and satisfying to watch the young children develop both in knowledge and maturity over the difficult concept.
