Project Management Skills for Kids

PJMan  & The StarGazers Kids consist of a group of kids ages 7-18 years old in Oakland, CA who are using real projects to learn project management and leadership skills.  In addition to project management and leadership skills, we are learning a lot of technical skills such as programming, multi-media (videos, video games, apps, etc...) and business skills to execute and communicate about our projects.  We are also partnering with the MADE (Museum of Art and Digital Education in Oakland, CA -https://www.themade.org/) who teaches them video game programming skills using Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu/)


Eventually, most of our projects will be geared towards improving our community and communities all over the world. 

We've completed a 6 hour class introducing us to project management skills, tools and principals based on PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge  https://www.pmi.org/pmbok-guide-standards).  Now we will start working on projects.   ...and yes, we're having fun while we learn.

This is our 3rd project.  The first two were practice projects.  This is our first real project. 

For this project, we are learning more about our world, how to manage a crowdfund campaign, how to fund raise, how to give back and how to manage everything using project management and leadership skills. 

We will start with a project and marketing plan, and then set goals for our budget, our campaign financial goal, schedule, risks, stakeholders, scope changes, customer satisfaction, etc...

100% of the proceeds (minus the Go Fund Me fees) from this campaign will go directly to Asante Africa Foundation  headquartered in Oakland, CA.  They help communities , villages and tribes in Kenya and Tanzania, Africa build schools.  In addition to educating the kids from the local area, they teach leadership and entrepreneurial  skills.

Again, your giving keeps on giving.  As you donate to our Go Fund Me, our kids learn more about monitoring projects and seeing how their efforts affect the outcome of the projects while kids in Africa and their families and villages receive the resources they need to live better lives.  

As this project progresses, we will share more about what we're learning so you and the kids in your life can learn more from our efforts.
