Advancing Out-of-school Learning in Mathematics and Engineering (AOLME)

Short video introduction to the AOLME project.

The AOLME project has demonstrated successful implementation of an integrated curriculum for teaching computing foundations based on middle-school mathematics. Current educational research is focused on the development of learning models to understand how students acquired computing knowledge by participating in the project. Current engineering research is focused on the development of automated video analysis methods to support the development of the learning models.
