|Description of Project: |The New York Hall of Science proposes an Investing in Innovation development|
| |grant to address Absolute Priority 2Promoting STEM Education. We focus on |
| |the goal of increasing the number of individuals from groups traditionally |
| |underrepresented in STEM, including minorities, providing them with access |
| |to rigorous and engaging coursework in STEM that will prepare them for |
| |college and/or careers in STEM. We aim to do this by developing, |
| |implementing, and evaluating a new system of technologies (Competitive |
| |Preference Priority 10), Sic Games, designed to bridge formal classroom and |
| |informal playground science learning environments. Research tells us that |
| |informal science environments low stakes quality can have a positive impact |
| |on students science affect, but are much less effective for science learning|
| |than inquiry-based classroom instruction, which, however, has been shown to |
| |have limited positive impact on these students affect. We draw from recent |
| |studies on guided play and gaming to hypothesize that an informal game with |
| |science intrinsically integrated into the gameplay paired with formal |
| |classroom inquiry could support student improvement in both affect and |
| |learning, both being necessary to enter the pipeline to STEM careers. We |
| |propose to develop and test Sic Games, a suite of technologies that turns |
| |student’s playground play into a game. The game requires students to learn |
| |and use target physics concepts and the technology logs physics data during |
| |student’s playground gameplay. Student data is incoporated into a digital |
| |app, which is designed to support deeper inquiry into the core science |
| |concepts back in the classroom. We will develop and test three Sic Games |
| |that address three core 8th grade physics concepts about force and motion. |
| |We will conduct an Implementation study in Years 1 and 2 with 2,000 New York|
| |City students from groups underrepresented and their 30 teachers. In Years 3|
| |and 4, we will conduct an impact study with 6,000 students and 80 teachers. |
