Brief Summary
This study will test whether using the film Queen of Katwe as a role model story can help motivate and engage high school students in Kenya. The film is based on the true story of Phiona Mutesi, a Ugandan girl who becomes a chess champion despite growing up in poverty. The study will take place in a mixed secondary school in Ngong town, Kajiado County, with about 250 students aged 13 to 19. Students will watch the film at school. To see if the approach works well, researchers will collect data before and after the film showing. They will check: 1. Feasibility (how easy it is to carry out, including costs and logistics) 2. Acceptability (how students and teachers feel about it) 3. Engagement (how involved students are) Surveys and focus groups will be used to gather feedback. The goal is to see if this low-cost method could be used more widely to support learning and motivation in schools.
