Model Proj: Designing for Equity

这个项目建立在一个开发的原型学习环境上，这是一个基于计算机的设计工具，使女孩能够从自己富有想象力的有利位置开始创造机器。“IMAGINE”是一个图形程序，支持学生设计物体、制作动画以及添加声音和视觉效果。首席调查员建议改进和完成现有原型的开发，并创建一套可与正在进行的数学和科学课程结合使用的课程活动。这项提议预计将吸引女孩，特别是城市少数民族女孩，进入工程和相关职业。

This project builds on a developed prototype learning environment, a computer-based design tool that enables girls to create machines by starting from their own imaginative vantage points. "Imagine" is a graphics program that supports students in designing objects, animating them, and adding sound and visual effects. The principal investigator proposes to refine and complete the development of the existing prototype and create a set of curriculum activities that can be used in conjunction with the ongoing math and science curricula. This proposal expect to attract girls, particularly urban minority girls, to engineering and related professions.
