Curriculum
Astronomy
We will learn the science behind the lunar phases of the moon by observing with moon journals and utilizing simple at-home moon models.
Digital Collaboration
Young Creators will collaborate by social video sharing through an education platform.
Female Body Education + Empowerment
In many indigenous cultures, women would gather to honor the rhythms of the moon cycles in the sky and the cycles in our body, as they are both around 28 days and have four distinct phases. Firefly offers a safe space to learn the science around menstruation and discuss the emotions around a girls rite of passage.
Nutrition
We will virtually gather in our kitchens to learn about foods as medicine (for the female body during specific phases of the month) and cook together on screen.
