GK12

RAISE project has developed a partnership between Polytechnic University and four New York City high schools to enhance student achievement in Active Physics, Marine Science, Regents Living Environment, Regents Physics, and Math-A. Under this project three principal investigators (PIs), over 12 GK­12 Fellows (RAISE Fellows) annually, and 16 teachers have collaborated to integrate modern sensing, instrumentation, and monitoring technologies in two required science courses (Active Physics and Living Environment) and two science electives (Marine Science and Physics). Another course (Math-A) is being impacted indirectly since use of instrumentation must be based on a solid foundation in math. Judicious integration of sensing technology in curriculum and instructional framework is exciting the students and imparting technology literacy to them.
