my role

My role in this project was as a research assistant and student mentor for the youth camp.

My primary responsibilities were helping with curriculum manual design and with facilitation and data collection during the camp sessions.

curriculum design

Because 2017 was the pilot year for Sawubona Lab 46208 I was given the opportunity to aid Professor Hong in the development of the camp curriculum.

The image provided shows the overall vision and learning objectives for the 6 weeks.
