HRD-9979265Adolescent Girls" is to create online, user-friendly software for girls ages 9-11 [27, 29]. The Adventures of Josie True will be web-based software for girls designed to encourage exploration and promote confidence in math and the sciences in multicultural, educational software. Using an adventure game as the premise, lead character Josie True and her friends become involved in intrigue across time and space as they rescue their inventor-turned-teacher Ms. Trombone. During their travels, girls will meet innovative women from history who will serve as multicultural role models. In addition to exploring rewarding activities based on science and math curricular topics, girls will be able to learn about women's history through technologies that allow girls to "interview" women like Bessie Coleman, the first female African-American aviator. Throughout this software development project, we will offer girls a healthy and entertaining set of educational alternatives; the project will develop an online community, provide a sense of adventure, invite participation, and offer positive, real-life role models while using technology to encourage experimentation with science and math. Players will explore the software with their "host" Josie True, an 11-year-old Asian-American girl, though time and space as they search for the great African American Pilot, Bessie Coleman. The characters travel in time to 1922 Chicago to save their missing science teacher and become embroiled in adventure. This narrative provides the context for science and math based learning activities. Josie True will provide all girls, especially girls who have had fewer opportunities, a chance to interact in science activities and "meet" role models. We pay special attention to female innovators and scientists to provide positive, "technological" female role models to help encourage girls to explore the sciences while advancing creative thinking, problem solving, and originality. We hope this project will increase time girls spend with the computer, increase their comfort level with technology, improve their learning by contextualizing concepts and problem solving, and provide characters engaged in science, math, and technology in order to promote scientific concepts and the associated disciplines. Josie will be promoted with textbook publishers, national school boards, and international education organizations. In addition, as an internet-based activity, Josie True will be accessible wherever the Internet is, such as public libraries and some schools.

HRD-9979265青少年女孩”是为9-11岁的女孩创建在线，用户友好的软件[27，29]。 乔西·特鲁的冒险将是一款面向女孩的网络软件，旨在鼓励探索和促进对多元文化教育软件中数学和科学的信心。 以冒险游戏为前提，主角Josie True和她的朋友们在拯救他们的发明家兼教师长号女士时，卷入了跨越时空的阴谋。 在他们的旅行中，女孩们将会见历史上的创新女性，她们将成为多元文化的榜样。 除了探索基于科学和数学课程主题的奖励活动外，女孩们还将能够通过技术来了解女性的历史，这些技术允许女孩们“采访”像贝西科尔曼这样的女性，她是第一位非洲裔美国女飞行员。 在整个软件开发项目中，我们将为女孩提供一套健康和娱乐的教育选择;该项目将开发一个在线社区，提供一种冒险感，邀请参与，并提供积极的，现实生活中的榜样，同时利用技术鼓励科学和数学实验。玩家将与他们的“主人”Josie True一起探索软件，一个11岁的亚裔美国女孩，穿越时空，寻找伟大的非裔美国飞行员贝西科尔曼。 人物穿越时空来到1922年的芝加哥，拯救他们失踪的科学老师，并卷入冒险。 这种叙述为基于科学和数学的学习活动提供了背景。 Josie True将为所有女孩，特别是机会较少的女孩，提供一个在科学活动中互动和“会见”榜样的机会。 我们特别关注女性创新者和科学家，以提供积极的“技术”女性榜样，帮助鼓励女孩探索科学，同时促进创造性思维，解决问题和原创性。 我们希望这个项目将增加女孩花在计算机上的时间，提高他们对技术的舒适度，通过将概念和解决问题的背景化来提高他们的学习能力，并提供从事科学，数学和技术的角色，以促进科学概念和相关学科。 乔西将与教科书出版商，国家学校董事会和国际教育组织推广。 此外，作为一项基于互联网的活动，Josie True将在任何有互联网的地方都可以访问，例如公共图书馆和一些学校。
