Zelvera Usheva Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hey,I was wondering if translating educational videos from english to some other language would count as a CAS Project? If for example I set a goal that in the next 4 months I will be translating videos and I will reach a total of 20 hours of translated videos, can I list that as a CAS project?

Knight Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Depends on what those videos are about, what purpose you are doing this for and how you use those translated videos. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelvera Usheva Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 They are about math, chemistry, physics, basically explaining you things related to school subjects. The website and the organization is called Khan Academy (pretty famous as long as I know). They have this option of translating their videos in other languages, so that more students who don't speak English can have access to them. For me, the purpose of doing this (translating to Bulgarian) would be ofc helping out students from Bulgaria who don't speak English. Its all voluntary.

Knight Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yup this should count as CAS (Service), but check with your CAS co-ordinator to be safe. Are you doing this as an official volunteer for Khan Academy? If not, Apply here. If you are really committed to this, I strongly advice you to apply. It will really stand out in your College application. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
