Project Objectives:
<br>
The main objective of this project is to interest and engage high
school girls in computer science through this hands-on, real-world,
socially relevant service learning project. Our school typically only
fields 2-3 students in any given computer science class we offer, and
they are always the same 2-3 students. This project attracted over 40
students initially, which is almost 15% of our student body. The
service learning trip is the “hook” I needed to interest many students
in something they might not otherwise discover.<br>

Requests 7 XO-1.5's over 3 months<br>
<br>
Project Objectives:<br>
Each Year our SIFE team comes up with new and innovative projects
that push<br>
the level of competition in SIFE. Back in July of 2009, our team
came up<br>
with a vision of transforming a small school bus into an interactive<br>
learning lab aimed at teaching young students about the environment
and the<br>
world around them. Our SIFE students have spent months developing<br>
curriculum, purchasing the small bus and planning the program. We
are now in<br>
the final stages of finishing the bus design and will begin teaching
as of<br>
March 15. We plan to impact over 1,000 3rd and 4th grade students in<br>
California between March 15 and April 30. We are well established in
our<br>
community because of 19 year legacy of students dedicated to
service. This<br>
allows us to make the 1,000+ student mark a reality.<br>

Project Objectives:<br>
To bring together knowledge from around the world to incorporate into<br>
helpful actions formed by youth (and community members that said
youth can<br>
inspire to help.) To do this, we will form an alliance of youth
between<br>
countries whom are chosen to cast frequent reports on ongoing
problems,<br>
possible solutions and resolved issues. This alliance will work
together to<br>
record happenings (country laws, natural disasters, changes in the
earth,<br>
new projects in space, etc.), natural or otherwise disasters, and
raise<br>
money to contribute to stronger, healthier choices to better the
community,<br>
country, continent, and world.<br>

Project Objectives:<br>
Musicpainter is a networked graphical composing<br>
environment. It has an easy-to-use composing interface, where users
can<br>
compose while painting. It is designed to make music composition more<br>
social, where everyone can access and collaboratively contribute to
a shared<br>
composing resource. The goal of the project is to provide an
environment<br>
where users can gather and learn how to compose from each other, and
to<br>
creates a place where different musical perspectives collide.<br>

Project Objectives:<br>
Develop a framework to support learning. First steps of a<br>
literacy acquisition game have been taken and an Iphone application
has<br>
been developed during a project at university. The iphone app has
been<br>
evaluated with a psychologist and some of the children he treats. The<br>
evaluation of the app was very promising and showed that learning
games<br>
which follow pedagogic principles are very effective. The goal of the<br>
framework is to support the learner during his learning activity and<br>
react if problems appear.</div>
