Sci-Fri (Science Friction)
Spring 2012
Initiated by DARPA, this multi-semester project is the first step towards inspiring young minds to pursue science and engineering as a career. This year we are focusing on creating several games for children ages 5-7 through which they learn science. We are collaborating with many institutions, such as the Sesame Workshop which will give us guidance on the age-appropriateness of our work, and Carnegie Mellon’s Human Computer Interaction Institute which will help us measure how the games affect childrens' knowledge and skills.
