Watch Kate Jordan receive her grant from the Clarkston Foundation for her project Super U! Challenge.
Detailed description of project:
The Super U! Challenge (super YOU!) is an action-packed school assembly that promotes a bully-free school environment by encouraging students to build positive character traits and identify (and stop!) bullying behavior. It's all about challenging students to become their own "personal super heroes" let their best traits shine - at school and at home.
The Super U! Challenge is designed after classic Kid's TV game shows such as "Double Dare" and the current Nickelodeon smash-hit "Brain Surge". During the 45-minute show, contestants from the audience are invited take part in imaginative, funny, and wacky interactive challenges that involve oversize props, creative costumes and yes...even some slime!
Each exciting challenge is based around a specific message about bullying and positive character traits that reinforces what students hear in school.
Unlike a traditional "quiz show" assembly that requires students to answer questions about curriculum, The Super U! Challenge does not put students "on-the-spot" or require that they have memorized any facts. The only requirement of the hand-on challenges is that the volunteers (and the audience!) are ready to have fun. This means students from all grade levels can participate in the show - and as soon as they see the wild challenges, there is never any shortage of eager volunteers.
In addition to helping kids identify bullying behavior and encouraging positive character traits, The Super U! Challenge also promotes teamwork and cooperation among students.
