Kids teaching Kids

Our year 9 expert was once again the highlight of the session. He has grown in confidence and is able to engage all 18 year 5 students with his amazing work shops on minecraft skill building.
His role in this project is having a positive influence on him beyond this project/classroom setting.

Today he said he felt as though he had gained more confidence speaking to a group. He mentioned that his older brother really wanted to learn about technology subjects, like the ones he was involved in at Doveton College. He said that now that he had had this teaching experience, sharing what he knows and teaching new skills; he felt confident enough in his "teaching" skills that he would be able to teach his older brother how to do wood work and technology.
He also wanted to know if he would be able to keep working as part of our project in the long term.
