We’re proud to share that our learners created two meaningful micro-courses designed by teens, for teens, focusing on mental health and essential soft skills.
The first course, Getting a Good Night’s Sleep, offers practical strategies for improving sleep habits and understanding the impact of rest on well-being. The second course, How to Communicate Effectively, guides learners through key communication techniques, including active listening and expressing ideas clearly.
Both courses were built using Tally and reflect the core activities explored during the first four weeks of the bootcamp: creating learner personas, writing SMART objectives aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy, curating content, and designing engaging learning experiences.
These projects showcase how youth can:
- take ownership of learning design, and
- create resources that speak directly to their peers’ needs
Through independent work, peer feedback, and hands-on practice, learners transformed validated, text-based knowledge into mini courses that are not only functional but also deeply relevant. These creations mark an exciting first step in their journey as future learning designers.
