San Diego County teachers collaborate in a new environmental science initiative (incorporating sensors, IT, and an online multi-player game) that provides an appealing context to spark middle school girls' interest in science and engineering.

Our Goals:

• Introduce teachers and their middle school students to IT, engineering, and environmental science concepts that connect with issues in their own lives.
• Foster IT as both a friendly investigative tool and a facilitator for enhancing science and engineering discoveries through activities that can become part of the standard curriculum.
• Teach effective problem solving and collaboration techniques.
• Present positive role models of women and minorities in science and engineering.
• Provide appealing venues where girls can explore their affinity for science and engineering.
• Create a community of women and girls with similar interests and concern about each other.
• Foster girls’ and minorities’ interest in pursuing science and engineering studies and careers.
• Support data collection and evaluation to measure the interest of teachers use of IT in their classrooms, interest and retention of their students in IT.
