We're in a Middle School!
A prestigious Middle School in the United Kingdom is test driving The Nestomir!
Exciting News
We’re excited to announce The Nestomir is being test driven by a prestigious school in the United Kingdom. The school will be using The Nestomir to power their summer Computer Science course and over 100 students will be participating!
This is exciting news as this is the first time the story will be utilized in a formal educational setting.
The Curriculum
The Computer Science teacher we are working with has come up with an innovative Computer Science curriculum built around The Nestomir adventure. The goal is to test out the story, and if all goes well, generate a more formal curriculum for Fall classes.
Some highlights
Students will be broken up into groups
Each group will be assigned a section of the story to master
Groups will summarize their part of the story for the rest of the class
Lessons from the story will be ported over to the educational circuit board, the Microbit—students will program the circuit board using the same coding lessons performed by Jake Addison, the protagonist of the novel
Future Vision
Our future vision is to help schools integrate rich story telling into their STEM-education process.
We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress. If you’re an educator or school administrator interested in integrating the story into your CS curriculum, you can reach out to me at steven@thenestomir.com.
You can buy The Nestomir on Amazon or download it for iOS or Android.
