UW research on gaming and robotics to boost math learning supported by NSF grant
Description
As part of ITEST project Visualization Basics, team members will train teachers from middle schools in at least 10 Wyoming school districts to develop mathematical and scientific lessons that are culturally relevant to their students. Project staff will support educators as they implement those lessons and will work with the teachers to analyze the impact on students’ overall learning. Finally, the research team will work with participants interested in becoming peer trainers, extending the project’s reach after the grant period ends.
