An interactive Primary One Science and Elementary Technology learning hub built around Rwanda’s six SET units. Instead of copying textbook pages, each topic becomes a KwigaToon story mission, observation activity, mini-lab, quiz, home challenge and AI conversation.

🔬 The KwigaToon Science Learning Model
Science should feel like discovering the world, not memorising a page. Kiki asks a question, the child looks at something real, predicts, tries a safe activity, explains what they noticed, and then uses the idea at home or school.
Learning rhythm: ① NOTICE → ② ASK → ③ PREDICT → ④ TRY/OBSERVE → ⑤ EXPLAIN TO KIKI → ⑥ CHECK → ⑦ CARE FOR OUR WORLD. The core HTML works without video; videos and live AI are enrichment.

🎯 Mission: Identify, name, use and care for materials used at school and at home. Group materials by their use: writing, drawing, reading, telling time, storage, cooking, dining, sleeping and cleaning.
💡 Big science idea: Every material has a job. Good scientists observe an object, name it, tell what it is used for, and care for it.
🎬 Story Mission — Help the Team

Kiki: Momo mixed school things and home things together!
Timo: I found a pencil. We use it for writing and drawing.
Kwi: I found a broom. We use it for cleaning.
Mama Amina: Can you help us put every item in the right place?

🎥 Science & African STEM Resource Hub
🌍 Ubongo Kids
Africa-focused animated STEM problem-solving adventures. Useful as short reinforcement after KwigaToon observation and discussion.
Video rule: WATCH → PAUSE → ASK → DO. A child should never spend the science lesson only watching. After 1–3 minutes, pause and ask the learner to point, predict, classify, draw or explain.
🧑🏾🏫 How This Should Grow on KwigaToon
Make every SET unit a mini science world. The strongest future version would add original Kiki/Timo animated scenes, drag-and-drop sorting, picture-based observation, voice answers, simple camera-based “show Kiki an object” activities, teacher dashboards and small badges for curiosity, careful observation and environmental care—not only correct answers.
Recommended micro-lesson structure: Story problem → Observe → Predict → Safe practical task → Explain to AI Kiki → Quick check → Home/community mission. This matches the learner-centred, real-life direction of SET much better than reproducing textbook pages.
