Global Kids' Playing 4 Keeps is an innovative youth media project, where we, Global Kids Leaders at South Shore High School, are gaining leadership and game design skills that we'll use to develop and produce socially conscious online games. Once produced, our game will have the potential to educate thousands of young people about a critical global issue.

Today's P4K: Child Alert Haiti and Character Design

In today's program, we used games to familiarize ourselves with the new UNICEF report,Child Alert: Haiti, which only came out last week. We also discussed why UNICEF chose this approach to educate people about issues in Haiti and how that was similar and different from our approach, using P4K.

We then explored Character Development, looking at sketches of our game's five family members, created by gameLab, and developed backstories for the different members.
