This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will address the challenge of developing students? empathy and emotional self-awareness with a mobile-based platform. Aligning with the NSF's mission to develop innovative education programs to enhance aspects of emotional intelligence, this project will address three major pain points for young learners with far-reaching implications. First, the need to develop emotional intelligence; which has been identified as a 21st-century literacy that is crucial for younger learners to thrive. Current school climate issues with bullying and violence consistently reinforce the need to address social and emotional learning. Next, the need to integrate social and emotional learning into regular classroom activities. With the demands placed on schools for testing, having a program that integrates with what schools are already responsible should support more widespread adoption. Finally, the program addresses a widespread need to combat the deleterious effects of the current uses of social media by young students. This project will bring a positive spin to social networking that can improve the emotional intelligence skills of studentsThe proposed innovation is an augmented reality-based experience that immerses fourth and fifth-grade students in activities designed to build their skills of emotional intelligence; namely, emotional self-awareness and empathy, as they interact with a network of peers. The key technical challenges the project must solve include: refining core methods for developing emotional self-awareness and empathy, defining and refining a user experience that teachers/parents will find educationally compelling and with which learners will love to engage, designing a curating process for learner-generated content that will ensure the safety and security of all users and developing virtual interactions that engage students in emotional skill development, and connecting activities with the materials for which students are already responsible.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目将解决发展学生的挑战？同情心和情感自我意识与移动平台。与NSF的使命一致，开发创新的教育计划，以提高情商的各个方面，这个项目将解决三个主要的痛点，为年轻的学习者具有深远的影响。首先，需要发展情商;这已被确定为21世纪的素养，对年轻学习者的成长至关重要。目前的校园气氛问题与欺凌和暴力不断加强需要解决社会和情感学习。其次，需要将社会和情感学习融入常规课堂活动。随着对学校测试的要求，有一个与学校已经负责的项目相结合的项目应该会支持更广泛的采用。最后，该计划解决了一个广泛的需要，以打击目前使用的社交媒体的青年学生的有害影响。该项目将带来积极的旋转社交网络，可以提高学生的情商技能，拟议的创新是一个增强现实为基础的经验，沉浸在四年级和五年级的学生，旨在建立他们的情商技能的活动;即，情绪自我意识和同情，因为他们与同龄人的网络互动。该项目必须解决的关键技术挑战包括：完善发展情感自我意识和同理心的核心方法，定义和完善教师/家长会发现教育上有吸引力并且学习者喜欢参与的用户体验，为学习者设计一个策展过程-生成内容，确保所有用户的安全和保障，并开发虚拟互动，让学生参与情感技能开发，并将活动与学生已经负责的材料联系起来。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并且通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
