Upcoming Events

Krystina Madej (Retired Professor of the Practice, School of Literature, Media, and Communication at Georgia Tech) presents research on representation of disability in games and how representation can provide children with exposure to and engagement with new video game schemas that add understanding and help create meaning about the disability represented.

Federal research funding agencies, including NSF and DoD, are including “Broader Impacts” as well as “Broadening Participation” as review criteria along with “Intellectual merit”. Other government agencies are following suit. Join Dr. Lizanne DeStefano, Director of the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics and Computing (CEISMC) and Leigh McCook, STEM@GTRI Director and IPaT Deputy Director in a discussion to explore the intent and purpose of these criteria in research funded proposals and ways to strengthen proposed K12 and outreach activities. They will also discuss resources on campus for collaboration and support in pursuit of K12 and outreach funded research programs.
