Atlanta Girls' School iSTEM Project
Cathleen Richardson, Director of Technology at the Atlanta Girls' School, has an incredible student project combining the use of the iPod Touch with a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math at AGS.
From their website: "iSTEM is a program that will combine the use of iPod Touches, various software applications, and Cocoa Programming/Objective C to pique the interest of Atlanta Girls' School students in the STEM areas. The program will begin in eighth grade with a science curriculum infused with technology applications and will end in twelfth grade with AGS girls becoming Cocoa programmers. Eighth graders will be getting the chance to use the iPods beginning the week of February 16. Four eleventh grade girls will begin the week of February 23 working directly with Director of Technology, Cathleen Richardson, to be a beta test group for programming the devices. The curriculum for this project will be aligned with National Science, Math, Engineering and Technology Standards and guided by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills Framework."
Knowing what an amazing, innovative, and creative educator Cathleen is, I will be eager to watch this project unfold! Be sure to explore their site at this link or by clicking on the image in this post.
