THE RIVER CITY PROJECT
INSTRUCTOR(S):
Chuck Howard & Kathy Grady, CESA #1
GRADE LEVEL: 6-12
CREDIT: 1
(Monday-Tuesday only.
Registration Cost = $120)
Do you have students who believe
they just "can't do science"?
Are you looking for ways to add 21st
century thinking skills into your
curriculum? Would you like to
engage your students with
technologies as sophisticated as
those they regularly use outside of
school? Welcome to RIVER CITY!
The River City Project is an NSF
supported immersive simulation for
learning scientific inquiry and 21st
century skills. River City is
designed around topics that are
central to biological and
epidemiologial subject matter,
accessible and interesting to all
students, and situated in authentic
learning environments in which
students, enabled by a computer
game-like interface, take on the
role of scientists. River City
is not a mindless video game or
"edutainment". Rather, it is
an interactive computer simulation
of a river town, based in the late
1800's, that combines digitalized
Smithsonian artifacts with an
inquiry-centered curriculum.
