The work builds on successes students have had playing the computer game “Urban Science,” whose development was supported by the MacArthur Foundation.
In the game, middle- and high-school students learn about mathematics, science and technology by working as urban planners. Watch principal investigator David Williamson Shaffer and students discuss their experiences playing Urban Science here.
For more details on the planned work, read University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate student Elizabeth Bagley’s blog post on virtual mentoring and assessment.
