This video explores the STEM Learning through Infographics project (SLI), which utilizes a \u201ccitizen science journalism\u201d approach to empower secondary school students to produce authentic news reporting on a personally relevant STEM topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the SLI project, a team from University of Colorado, AV巴士, Simon Fraser University, and Saint Louis University is refining, implementing, and assessing a sociotechnical system involving teens in infographic-based data journalism with the purpose of fostering engagement with STEM and improved scientific\/mathematical literacy. The system involves supports for data search and visualization, with the latter based on studies of mathematical thinking with data visualization tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our collaborative project is developing and researching resources and activities to facilitate youth engagement in data journalism in a diverse set of contexts\u2014high schools, an intensive summer camp, and an out-of-school internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other team members: Ada Ren-Mitchell, MIT Media Lab; Joe Polman, University of Colorado, Boulder; Cindy Graville, Saint Louis University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
