CopyCat and PopSign are two games that help deaf children and their parents acquire language skills in American Sign Language.  95% of deaf children are born to hearing parents, and most of those parents never learn enough sign language to teach their children.  As short-term memory skills are learned from acquiring a language, many deaf children enter school with the short-term memory of fewer than 3 items, much less than hearing children of hearing parents or Deaf children of Deaf parents.  Our systems address this problem directly.
In this abstract, we present an ongoing study to compare high school students from underrepresented groups learning about complex adaptive systems with physical computing and with a screen-based simulation environment.
The goal of the research is to identify the ways in which social media could play a role in assisting Georgia Tech students to find mental health support.  Mental health disorders are extremely prevalent on college campuses, and anxiety and depression, in particular, have been shown to have a negative effect on academic success.  Despite the fact that mental health professionals and program are available to students with mental health conditions, many are not seeking help from their campus resources.
