The students impacted by this project are high school students in science and pre-engineering classes. This is a suburban Title I school. Many of the students are under-represented minority based on ethnic or socio-economic background. Most of them are familiar with technology but have limited access in both the home and school.
Students are familiar with cell phones, the Internet, and social networking. In our science programs we try to integrate technology. Students learn how scientists and engineers use technology to investigate and solve problems. We try to let students work like scientists in researching, sharing and discussing their results. Together, they are able to observe and establish models of how the world works.
We serve a variety of students. Some are preparing for future study in science or engineering, while others are merely meeting their science requirements. In either case, we want students to be able to visualize the properties of the world around them.
