1
00:00:00,721 --> 00:00:02,428
kwa jinsi gani uligundua shauku yako

2
00:00:02,428 --> 00:00:03,527
ama kupata kazi yako?

3
00:00:03,717 --> 00:00:04,927
Je, ulikutana nayo?

4
00:00:04,997 --> 00:00:06,532
ama ilikua ni kufanya majaribio na kukosea?

5
00:00:06,862 --> 00:00:09,979
Kama mtetezi wa haki za watoto,
Marian Wright Edelman alisema,

6
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:13,077
¨Hauwezi ukawa usichokiona.¨

7
00:00:13,573 --> 00:00:15,788
Kwa bahati nzuri, sasa tunaishi katika
wakati

8
00:00:15,812 --> 00:00:19,527
ambao teknolojia zinazojitokeza zaweza
kutusaidia kusuluhisha tatizo hili

9
00:00:19,527 --> 00:00:21,186
Kwa miaka miwili iliyopita

10
00:00:21,186 --> 00:00:23,567
nimekua nikikuza mpango wa ukweli
uliopanuliwa

11
00:00:23,567 --> 00:00:27,098
unaowezesha wanafunzi wa shule za kati,
kutoka nchi nzima

12
00:00:27,098 --> 00:00:30,079
kuchukua jukumu la mwanasaikolojia wa
baharini

13
00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:32,069
hata kama hawajawahi kuona bahari

14
00:00:33,429 --> 00:00:36,077
kama mwanafunzi mmoja wa darasa la saba ambaye hivi
karibuni amekamilisha programu yetu

15
00:00:36,077 --> 00:00:38,997
alisema, ¨Niliweza kujiona ni
mwanasayansi,

16
00:00:38,997 --> 00:00:40,834
kwa sababu nilifurahia mchezo huu.¨

17
00:00:41,414 --> 00:00:43,408
Maoni haya yalinisisimua sana

18
00:00:43,408 --> 00:00:46,778
kwa sababu wanafunzi wachache sana hujiona
kama wanasayansi

19
00:00:47,448 --> 00:00:53,120
Utafiti wa 2014 ulionyesha kuwa asilimia 57
ya wanafunzi wa darasa la nane na tisa

20
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,280
walisema, ¨Sipendi sayansi¨

21
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,170
Vivyo hivyo, pia katika 2014,

22
00:00:58,170 --> 00:01:01,084
Nilikutana naye Mandë Holford,
mtaalamu wa kemia ya baharini

23
00:01:01,084 --> 00:01:03,680
na Lindsay Portnoy, mwanasaikolojia wa
elimu.

24
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,658
Sote watatu tulishirikiana shauku

25
00:01:06,658 --> 00:01:10,271
ya kuwafanya wanafunzi wavutiwe, na wawe
na starehe katika sayansi.

26
00:01:10,751 --> 00:01:13,417
Tulifikiria juu ya jinsi
tunaweza kuwapa watoto

27
00:01:13,417 --> 00:01:16,421
uzoefu wa kweli zaidi katika taaluma ya
kisayansi

28
00:01:16,421 --> 00:01:18,031
Tulijadili utafiti huo;

29
00:01:18,031 --> 00:01:22,200
ulionyesha kuwa wanafunzi walihisi vizuri
kuwa na uthubutu wakati wa kucheza michezo.

30
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:26,170
Basi sote watatu tulianzisha kampuni ya
michezo ya kielimu

31
00:01:26,170 --> 00:01:28,197
kuipa sayansi uhai

32
00:01:28,827 --> 00:01:33,072
Ukweli halisi ulionekana kama njia ya bei
ya chini ya kuongeza ufikiaji

33
00:01:33,482 --> 00:01:36,212
Juu ya hayo, utafiti wa kitaalam
umeonyesha

34
00:01:36,212 --> 00:01:39,967
ukweli halisi unaweza kusababisha
kuongezeka kwa utunzaji wa kujifunza.

35
00:01:39,967 --> 00:01:42,852
Hii ilikuwa kamili kwetu,
kama tulivyotaka kuwa mashuleni

36
00:01:42,852 --> 00:01:45,755
ili tuweze kufikia
idadi kubwa ya wanafunzi kadiri iwezekanavyo,

37
00:01:45,755 --> 00:01:48,990
haswa wanafunzi ambao wana uwakilishi mdogo katika sayansi

38
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:52,394
Kwa hivyo, tukiwa na ufadhili kutoka Mfuko wa Sayansi wa Kitaifa,

39
00:01:52,394 --> 00:01:55,443
tulianza kukuza mpango wetu wa ukweli
uliopanuliwa

40
00:01:55,443 --> 00:01:57,367
ulioleta pamoja ukweli halisi

41
00:01:57,397 --> 00:01:59,457
na jarida la kibinafsi la kidijitali

42
00:01:59,767 --> 00:02:02,077
Tulifanya kazi na waalimu tulipokua
tukiuendeleza

43
00:02:02,077 --> 00:02:05,190
kuhakikisha kuwa utafaa bila shida 
ndani ya mitaala iliyopo

44
00:02:05,930 --> 00:02:09,870
na kuwawezesha waalimu kutumia teknolojia
ya kisasa madarasani mwao.

45
00:02:10,470 --> 00:02:12,936
Tulibuni ukweli halisi wa Kadi ya Google,

46
00:02:12,936 --> 00:02:15,236
ambao unahitaji simu janja tu

47
00:02:15,236 --> 00:02:19,223
na kitazamaji cha VR cha dola 10
kilichotengenezwa kwa kadibodi.

48
00:02:19,553 --> 00:02:21,480
kwa hivi vifaa vya kichwa visivyo ghali,

49
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,700
wanafunzi husafirishwa katika msafara
chini ya maji.

50
00:02:25,190 --> 00:02:27,071
Wanafunzi hutumia jarida lao la kidijitali

51
00:02:27,071 --> 00:02:28,592
kuandika maelezo yao,

52
00:02:28,592 --> 00:02:30,022
kujibu maswali,

53
00:02:30,022 --> 00:02:31,582
kujenga mifano

54
00:02:31,582 --> 00:02:32,882
na kukuza nadharia.

55
00:02:33,402 --> 00:02:36,844
Wanafunzi basi huenda katika ulimwengu wa kweli kujaribu nadharia zao

56
00:02:36,844 --> 00:02:38,594
ili waone ikiwa ni sahihi,

57
00:02:38,594 --> 00:02:40,184
kadiri wanasayansi waendavyo katika
nyanja za utafiti

58
00:02:40,184 --> 00:02:41,827
katika kazi zao.

59
00:02:42,807 --> 00:02:44,817
Wanafunzi wanaporudi kwa jarida lao la
kidijitali,

60
00:02:44,817 --> 00:02:47,057
hushiriki uchunguzi wao, madai,

61
00:02:47,057 --> 00:02:48,925
hoja na ushahidi.

62
00:02:49,395 --> 00:02:53,986
Majibu ya wanafunzi yaliyoandikwa na
mwingiliano wa kawaida

63
00:02:53,986 --> 00:02:55,796
zote husasishwa moja kwa moja

64
00:02:55,796 --> 00:02:57,919
kwenye dashibodi ya tathmini ya mwalimu,

65
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,331
ili walimu waweze kufuata maendeleo yao

66
00:03:00,331 --> 00:03:02,901
na wawasaidie kama inavyohitajika.

67
00:03:02,901 --> 00:03:04,909
Ili kukupa hisia nzuri, nitakuonyesha

68
00:03:04,909 --> 00:03:07,039
kidogo ya yale wanafunzi huona.

69
00:03:07,789 --> 00:03:10,433
Huu ndio ukweli halisi wanapokuwa chini ya
maji

70
00:03:10,433 --> 00:03:13,373
wakiangalia mimea na wanyama.

71
00:03:14,453 --> 00:03:16,935
Hii ni jarida la kidijitali
ambapo wanaunda mifano yao

72
00:03:16,935 --> 00:03:20,295
kulingana na data hii ya kawaida kuonyesha
wanachotarajia kuona.

73
00:03:21,415 --> 00:03:24,165
Hapa, wanaunga mkono hiyo na taarifa za
ubora.

74
00:03:24,165 --> 00:03:27,079
Na hii ndio dashibodi ya ualimu
inayoonyesha maendeleo

75
00:03:27,079 --> 00:03:30,806
na inawezesha [waalimu] kuona majibu ya
wanafunzi wanapoendelea.

76
00:03:32,716 --> 00:03:34,716
Tulipokua tunaunda BioDive,

77
00:03:34,716 --> 00:03:36,950
tulitaka sana kuzingatia ufikiaji,

78
00:03:36,950 --> 00:03:41,090
kwa hivyo tuliijenga kuhitaji simu moja tu
kwa kila wanafunzi wanne.

79
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:44,880
Tulijua pia jinsi kazi ya sayansi inavyoshirikisha,

80
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,420
kwa hivyo tuliunda uzoefu kutatuliwa tu

81
00:03:47,420 --> 00:03:49,330
kupitia kushirikiana

82
00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:53,224
kwani kila mwanafunzi ni mtaalam katika
eneo tofauti la kijiografia.

83
00:03:53,594 --> 00:03:56,893
Kwa kuzingatia kwamba akili za watoto hawa
bado inaendelea kukua,

84
00:03:56,893 --> 00:04:00,853
tulipunguza kila uzoefu kudumu kiwango
kisichozidi dakika mbili.

85
00:04:00,853 --> 00:04:05,303
Na mwishowe, kwa sababu tunajua umuhimu
wa kudhihirishwa mara kwa mara

86
00:04:05,303 --> 00:04:06,869
ili kufahamu maarifa

87
00:04:06,869 --> 00:04:10,569
tuliunda BioDive ifanyike zaidi ya vipindi
vya darasa tano.

88
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:14,992
Tulianza majaribio ya BioDive mnamo 2017

89
00:04:14,992 --> 00:04:17,826
katika shule 20 huko New York na New Jersey.

90
00:04:17,826 --> 00:04:20,617
Tulitaka kuona wanafunzi walipokuwa
wakitumia teknolojia hii mpya.

91
00:04:21,467 --> 00:04:23,913
Mnamo mwaka wa 2019, sasa,

92
00:04:23,913 --> 00:04:27,606
tunafanya majaribio katika majimbo 26 kwa
sasa.

93
00:04:27,996 --> 00:04:30,776
Tulichosikia kutoka kwa waalimu
ambao wamefundisha kwa kutumia programu yetu:

94
00:04:30,776 --> 00:04:34,491
"Ilikuwa njia nzuri ya kuonyesha mienendo ya bahari
bila anasa ya kuwa huko hasa

95
00:04:34,491 --> 00:04:35,881
kwa kuwa tupo Ohio. "

96
00:04:35,881 --> 00:04:36,891
(Kicheko)

97
00:04:36,891 --> 00:04:38,401
"Ni ya kushangaza sana."

98
00:04:38,401 --> 00:04:40,722
"Wanafunzi walishiriki kabisa."

99
00:04:41,052 --> 00:04:44,329
Lakini kinachotupa tumaini ni tunachosikia
kutoka kwa wanafunzi

100
00:04:44,799 --> 00:04:46,914
"Nilipenda jinsi ilivyoonekana kana kwamba
nilikuwa pale."

101
00:04:46,914 --> 00:04:49,392
"Ina maingiliano na ni njia nzuri ya
kufurahia unapojifunza."

102
00:04:49,392 --> 00:04:52,912
"Ilinipa mifano ya kweli ya jinsi viumbe
hawa wanavyoonekana. "

103
00:04:53,652 --> 00:04:58,162
"Nilijiona kama mwanasayansi
kwa sababu inaonekana kufurahisha sana. "

104
00:04:58,772 --> 00:05:01,270
Maoni yetu hayakuwa mazuri kila wakati.

105
00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:03,496
Tulipoanza kukuza,

106
00:05:03,496 --> 00:05:05,428
tulianza kwa kuwauliza wanafunzi

107
00:05:05,428 --> 00:05:06,562
walichokipenda,

108
00:05:06,562 --> 00:05:07,662
kile wasichokipenda

109
00:05:07,662 --> 00:05:09,742
na kile walichokipata kinawachanganya.

110
00:05:09,742 --> 00:05:13,319
Mwishowe tulianza kuuliza walichokua
nahamu ya kufanya.

111
00:05:13,909 --> 00:05:17,469
Maoni yao yakatupa vitu halisi vya kujenga
ndani

112
00:05:17,469 --> 00:05:21,140
ili kuwa na uhakika kuwa tunajumuisha
sauti za wanafunzi katika tulichokibuni.

113
00:05:22,020 --> 00:05:26,347
Kwa jumla, kile tumejifunza ni kwamba huu
ni mwanzo wa jukwaa mpya

114
00:05:26,347 --> 00:05:29,383
la kuwapa wanafunzi sauti na umiliki

115
00:05:29,383 --> 00:05:31,701
katika kuamua jinsi wanataka kuwa na athari

116
00:05:31,701 --> 00:05:33,157
katika kazi zao.

117
00:05:33,607 --> 00:05:35,057
Tulilenga sayansi,

118
00:05:35,057 --> 00:05:36,757
kwa sababu twafahamu kuwa twawahitaji wanasayansi

119
00:05:36,757 --> 00:05:39,927
ili kutusaidia kutatua hali yetu ya sasa na
changamoto za baadaye.

120
00:05:40,537 --> 00:05:44,607
Lakini ukweli halisi unaweza kusaidia
wanafunzi katika eneo lolote.

121
00:05:44,607 --> 00:05:49,220
Tunawezaje kuwasaidia wanafunzi katika
kutafuta tamaa zao zote

122
00:05:49,220 --> 00:05:53,020
kwa uzoefu huu wa kufungua jicho na nafasi
za kujifunza kutoka kwa vyanzo vya msingi?

123
00:05:53,020 --> 00:05:57,295
Tunaweza kuunda... VR za vifaa vya kichwa
visivyo ghali

124
00:05:57,885 --> 00:06:00,550
ambazo zinawaruhusu wazame katika fasihi
ya mdomo

125
00:06:00,550 --> 00:06:02,920
au katika wakati mgumu wa historia ya wanadamu?

126
00:06:03,250 --> 00:06:07,204
Ukweli uliopanuliwa una uwezo
wakubadilisha mwelekeo

127
00:06:07,204 --> 00:06:08,896
wa maisha ya watoto wetu

128
00:06:08,896 --> 00:06:11,476
na uwaongoze kwenye kazi hawakuwahi
kufikiria

129
00:06:11,926 --> 00:06:15,336
kwa kuwapa nafasi ya kuona ni nini
wanaweza wakawa.

130
00:06:15,336 --> 00:06:16,249
Asanteni

131
00:06:16,249 --> 00:06:17,513
(Makofi)
