Students will launch the Code for Kindness project by analyzing a model interactive story for inclusion, bias, accessibility, and fairness, then work with classmates and the school counselor to co-create a beginning-middle-end story map for a respectful school or online scenario they will investigate further in the next phase.

Students will gather direct user evidence about inclusion, fairness, respectful language, and accessibility; synthesize patterns from interviews and counselor input; test assumptions about user experience; and draft a human-centered problem statement and How Might We brief that will guide their Code.org story design.

Students will present their completed Code.org kindness stories to classmates and the school counselor, explain how sequencing, events, and iteration support an inclusion or anti-bullying message, and document final evidence of debugging, peer feedback, and equity-focused revision.
