Collecting and sharing the stories of community elders is one powerful way students gain perspective and connection.","Description":"After writing and recording their own \u201cThis I Believe\u201d essays, 12th graders in STRIPES begin to expand outward in the community. Protest and change are major themes of the course, and often students have narrow views of what these look like in action. By connecting with elders from a local senior center, students build relationships and begin to understand how the Parkside neighborhood has changed over time. In addition, students hear how others have navigated change in their lives, as well as ways that people have confronted and protested injustice. Students develop and apply interviewing skills, and then work in a media lab to edit and consolidate the elders\u2019 stories. The unit ends with an exhibit at the senior center in which students share the final stories along with photo portraits they took of their interviewees. The elders\u2019 stories are cataloged in an archive for posterity.\r\n\r\nThe various pieces of the oral history project reflect the mission of STRIPES: Students learn through real-world, local experiences in the city of Philadelphia to develop a sense of connection, purpose, and possibility that empowers them to shape and impact their communities. STRIPES relies on three main pathways to attain its mission: authentic partnerships, integrated learning, and self-knowledge.\r\n\r\nIn this conversation, we will share the scope and sequence of the oral history project, along with final products.

Participants in each node engage in conversation, tackling challenges that incorporate both ethical quandaries and technological dilemmas, such as \"How do we ensure equitable access to AI education?\" or \"What ethical obligations do we have when creating NFTs?\"\r\n\r\nWhile participants converse, they'll have tablets or smartphones displaying a decentralized app (dApp). This app is more than a digital companion; it's an integral part of the experience. As conversations reach milestones\u2014consensus on an ethical question\u2014the group earns digital tokens. These aren't just points; they're real, blockchain-backed assets symbolizing their collaborative ethical achievements. These tokens could later be staked for community initiatives, exchanged for exclusive digital content, or redeemed for real-world credentials, bridging the digital and physical realms.\r\n\r\nA real-time, visually engaging leaderboard tracks each node's progress, gamifying the experience and instilling a sense of playful competition. Yet, the true brilliance lies in the synergy between the digital and physical: as participants debate, share, and learn, they're not just earning tokens\u2014they're embodying the values those tokens represent.\r\n\r\nOur focus isn't just a dialogue or a game; it's an experiential ecosystem that fuses humanistic ethics, cutting-edge technology, and the transformative potential of tokenomics into a singular, impactful learning journey.
