FEATURED PROJECTS
Designing for Emotion
How can children get the most out of their museum visits? We are working with the Boston Museum of Science to design exhibits that support richly challenging and impactful learning experiences.
The UDL Science Notebook
Shouldn’t all students have access to inquiry science? We are working with CAST to create and research a science notebook that supports all students to be intrinsically motivated for science learning.
Game Design Studio
Can game design be a catalyst for systems change? We are working with iThrive to develop a program to engage teens in designing great games that promote positive psychology and school redesign.
