THE WORLD OF BLINKY AND FRIENDS

Education is the key to lifetime success, and the key to education is early childhood development (ECD). The World of Blinky and Friends by African American content creator Bryant Person presents songs, chants, and rhymes as a springboard to literacy. Blinky the Fun-Loving Caterpillar and his animated friends use music and motion to make learning fun for young children (ages 2-6). The World of Blinky and Friends introduces children to colors, counting, alphabets, body parts, and nutrition through videos, books, eBooks and Live or Live-streamed performances. Other educational content includes Baby’s First Words, Sight Words, Shapes, Name the Animals, and Story Time videos. This entertaining and interactive ECD support tool will help to develop oral language, phonological awareness, comprehension, listening and thinking skills.


AVAILABILITY & ACCESS: The World of Blinky and Friends is available online now for a small monthly fee. Sponsoring 2 families for $19 a month through the KIDS MUVE Early Learning Zone enables us to provide FREE access to low-income families from underserved communities while raising working capital for global operations. KIDS MUVE has a goal to reach and educate 100 million under-served and low-income families with kids (ages 2 to 6) from McComb, Mississippi (the poorest state in the USA) to Nairobi, Kenya (the Gateway to East Africa), to The Bahamas, the Caribbean and beyond.

LITERARY ADVENTURES IN PUPPETRY

Literary Adventures in Puppetry (“Literary Adventures”) is the brainchild of Professor Mark and Albalis Smith of Cartoonyville Art Studio, and a collaboration with The Zhana Corporation. The goal of Literary Adventures is to use animations and puppetry to inspire a new generation of readers. Picking up where The World of Blinky and Friends ends, Literary Adventures targets kids ages 7-12+ and is a major component of the KIDS MUVE Illiteracy Initiative. The program initially consists of a 26-episode TV/video series and includes a special behind-the-scenes episode that explains how we put each show together, interviews with cast and crew, and a demo on how teachers and homeschooling parents can bring hands-on puppetry to their classrooms - not just in literature, but history, science and even math! There will also be a companion book, The Art of Literary Adventures in Puppetry, which shows conceptual art, script formats, and some of the puppet patterns used to build characters in the show. In addition, Literary Adventures will offer Live-streamed puppet-building workshops to enhance the educational experience for kids around the world. 


AVAILABILITY & ACCESS: Literary Adventures in Puppetry will be available online in early 2024 through the KIDS MUVE Early Learning Zone and onsite at every KIDS MUVE Edutainment Complex (e-Complex) worldwide. More to come. 


YOUNG WORLD RADIO

Young World Radio targets middle school students (ages 11-13) who will co-host and produce their own weekly show, the "Young World Radio Show," that will be heard on regional, national, and foreign radio stations, as well as streaming online via internet radio stations. 


The Young World Radio Show, hosted by the legendary Brother Sam Tate, has been aired on radio stations for nearly 10 years. The format includes old school music, interviews with community leaders, recording artists and other celebs plus shout outs over the air by kids from the community. This program enhances presentation and communication skills and is great for our youth's self-esteem. 


Not only will students learn a very specialized skill, but the microphone can become one of the greatest PR tools in their lives. This highly technical skill will certainly give our youth hope as they quickly become local stars in their communities.


AVAILABILITY & ACCESS: Young World Radio will be available in Summer 2024 onsite at every KIDS MUVE Edutainment Complex (e-Complex) worldwide. More to come.

DIGITAL LITERACY SIMPLIFIED™

Digital Literacy Simplified is a multifaceted program designed to enhance digital literacy among youth, adults, and seniors, particularly in underserved communities. This initiative aims to narrow the digital knowledge and access gap through a blend of in-person and online training. It utilizes KIDS MUVE’s platforms for online courses and instructor led training sessions at KIDS MUVE e-Complexes [or remote locations through advanced technology and collaboration with existing community outreach programs]. 

 

The program's curriculum is structured around six core courses: Digital Literacy Basics; Internet Basics; Docs, Sheets, and Forms; Social Media; Graphics; and Audio/Video Media. These sessions cover fundamental digital skills, ranging from basic computer operations and internet usage to more complex tasks like creating and editing digital media. 

 

Training is conducted through instructor-led classroom sessions, complemented by practical exercises in computer labs. Participants' progress and program effectiveness are evaluated through online tests, which also serve to gauge the curriculum's impact and the instructors' efficiency. This comprehensive approach ensures that participants receive a well-rounded education in digital literacy, equipping them with essential skills for the modern digital world. 

 

AVAILABILITY & ACCESS: Digital Literacy Simplified will be available online in Summer 2024 and onsite at every KIDS MUVE Edutainment Complex (e-Complex) worldwide. More to come. 



THE MADD SKILLS PROJECT

The environment where children grow up influences their character and behaviors. Studies have shown that teens from low-income and under-served communities are more prone to delinquent behaviors if they do not have a positive outlet. The MADD Skills Project™ is a Creative Arts program focused on Music, Art, Drama, and Dance, whose purpose is to help curb juvenile delinquency, foster a spirit of ethics and excellence, and reduce teen suicide rates by reducing time on social media

(the 3rd leading cause of teen suicide). 


The MADD Skills Project will be piloted as an

after-school program for teens 13-17 in the USA, The Bahamas, and Kenya. The program will be expanded to other KIDS MUVE e-Complexes or other remote locations through advanced technology and collaboration with existing community outreach programs. 


AVAILABILITY & ACCESS: MADD Skills Project will be available in Summer 2024 onsite at every KIDS MUVE Edutainment Complex (e-Complex) worldwide and at select remote locations.

FLYING COLORS YOUTH AVIATION

The Flying Colors Youth Aviation program (targeting ages 15-21) focuses on creating career opportunities for young, aspiring aviators, especially from under-represented communities. This comprehensive program, in partnership with FAA Certified Flight Schools, offers an immersive curriculum encompassing ground school and advanced flight simulators.

In essence, Flying Colors Youth Aviation is not just a training program but a transformative platform. It fosters inclusivity, bridges educational gaps, and inspires a diverse range of young individuals to pursue their dreams in the aviation industry.
