Let's take a closer look at the tasks I undertake as an intern:

1. Reviewing Lesson Fixing Documents: As an open-source platform, Oppia relies on the contributions of volunteers to create ready-to-play lessons. In collaboration with other volunteers, I review these documents from a pedagogical standpoint, ensuring their quality. We aim to identify any potential roadblocks that could hinder the user experience. To gather valuable insights, we involve kids from the target audience who try out the lessons and provide feedback on the challenges they encounter. This process takes place during the contribution stage of the internship application. Currently, my role involves reviewing the documents submitted by contributors and volunteers, offering an additional perspective on the suggestions provided.

2. Creating Science Lessons: Presently, I am actively engaged in creating science lessons that will be featured on the Oppia website. This involves developing a comprehensive lesson plan, including a skill tree and skill table. Additionally, I craft the story outline and script for each lesson. As part of the graphics team, I also contribute by designing graphics specifically tailored to enhance the learning experience.

3. Assisting with Yoruba Language Translation: I am actively involved in the translation of Oppia lessons into the Yoruba language, ensuring that the content is accessible to a wider audience.
