Overview
Rewrite one science lesson in your home language and test it with younger learners.
Skills you will use
Safety and ethics
- This project involves people. Explain what you are doing and get their consent (a parent's or teacher's for children), let anyone stop at any time, collect only what you need, and remove names before you share results.
Materials and tools
- A science lesson
- Speakers of the language to check terms
Step-by-step roadmap
Start
You will finish with: a translated lesson and learner feedback.
- 1
Prerequisites
Nothing special to know first. Then collect the 2 items in the materials list.
- 2
Learn
Read up on teaching aids: mother tongue, science communication, translation. Your textbook chapter and one short video are enough.
- 3
Plan
List the features for version one, sketch the screens or data flow and pick the tools. Keep the first version small.
- 4
Build
- Choose a lesson of two pages.
- Translate it, deciding which technical terms to keep.
- Have a fluent adult check it.
- Teach it to three younger learners.
- Ask what was clearer than the original.
- 5
Test
Try it with wrong, empty and unusual input, and ask someone else to use it without your help.
- 6
Document
Write a README: what it does, how to run it, screenshots and what you learned. Report structure
- 7
Present
Show a live demo of one complete task, then the design and the hardest problem you solved. Presentation structure
- 8
Publish
Put the code on GitHub with the README and, if you can, deploy a live demo.
Expected outcome
A translated lesson and learner feedback.
Other versions of this project
Advanced version
Record it as an audio lesson.
Ways to do this project
Text marked "You write this" is a prompt for your own work; everything else is specific to this project.
Use this as the outline of your README or case study.
- Problem
- You write thisThe problem in one or two sentences.
- Why it matters
- You write thisWho has this problem and what it costs them.
- What was built
- A translated lesson and learner feedback.
- Technology
- You write thisThe languages, libraries and tools you used, and why you picked them.
- Architecture
- You write thisOne diagram: the parts and how data moves between them.
- Implementation
- You write thisThe 5 build steps in your own words, with one code or design decision you are proud of.
- Challenges
- You write thisThe hardest bug or decision, and how you got past it.
- Results
- You write thisNumbers: accuracy, speed, users, survey answers.
- Demo and code
- You write thisA link to a live demo or a short video, and to the GitHub repository.
- Lessons learned
- You write thisWhat you would do differently next time.
- Future improvements
- Record it as an audio lesson.
- Problem
- Rewrite one science lesson in your home language and test it with younger learners.
- Target user
- You write thisOne specific person: who they are and when they would use this.
- Solution
- Rewrite one science lesson in your home language and test it with younger learners.
- First version (MVP)
- You write thisThe smallest version that shows the idea working once, end to end.
- Tech stack
- You write thisPick tools your team already knows.
- Architecture
- You write thisA quick sketch of the parts and how they connect.
- Demo
- You write thisThe one scenario you will show live, start to finish, in under two minutes.
- Stretch goals
- Record it as an audio lesson.
Team roles
Plan by length
24-hour
- Hours 0–2: agree the problem, the user and the one thing the demo must show
- Hours 2–16: build only the first version
- Hours 16–20: test the demo path end to end and fix what breaks
- Hours 20–24: slides, a 2-minute demo script and a backup recording
48-hour
- Evening 1: problem, user, sketch and task split
- Day 1: first version working end to end
- Day 2 morning: one stretch goal and testing
- Day 2 afternoon: polish, slides and demo practice
1-week
- Day 1: research the problem and talk to two possible users
- Days 2–4: first version
- Day 5: stretch goals
- Day 6: testing and write-up
- Day 7: demo video and presentation
Working as a team
Solo or up to 2. Suggested roles:
