This enrichment activity you will be coding a digital story with the online web tool of Elementari to reflect “Her-Story” life events and or accomplishments of your interviewee, supported with incredible graphics and an engaging storyline. Yes this could be used as you main multimedia biography presentation too.

Check out the walk through video to the right that goes through creating your free account to setting your students up on Elementari to write their first interactive multimedia coded "Her-Story."

Elementari was created by co-founder Nicole Kang, an MIT graduate now living in France, originally from Arizona. This Elementari online platform provides a full coding curriculum promoting the arts, literacy, and computational thinking in engaging ways.

Or the second option is to tap into Storium. StoriumEDU is a collaborative writing game for youth that builds skill and lasting confidence through gamified creative writing experiences.

There are virtual playing cards that unlock your students' writing creativity. The gameplay revolves around digital “story cards” that represent different aspects of storytelling and character development. Along with vivid art, these cards serve as writing prompts, helping students figure out what to write next at each step of the game and overcoming the dreaded “writer‘s block.”

There are characters that give students a personal stake in this gamified learning and writing experience. Each student creates and controls their own unique character. This helps them care about the story that they’re writing and builds strong, lasting motivation and engagement. Characters grow and evolve as the students play and write, just like in a real story.
