"Get Invested: Case Studies in Innovation" by Computer History Museum
Get Invested envisions a dynamic cross cultural interface between formal and informal learning systems focusing on global challenges to inspire marginalized students' interest and achievement in engineering, math, and science. An innovative, STEM+ infused learning project, Get Invested incorporates international collaboration between educational institutions, and instructional collaboration between formal school and the technology-driven, object-based informal learning environment of the Computer History Museum (CHM). Linking students attending vocational programs and traditional school in San Jose, CA and Monterrey, Mexico, Get Invested exposes students from diverse cultures to creative STEM+ problem-solving with multi-media applications and multi-modality learning approaches.
A replicable, scalable model that meets the needs of differentiated learners, Get Invested builds 21st Century skills by providing scaffolding for strategic thinking and communication. Working in parallel, students in San Jose and Monterrey collaborate in teams to identify a global problem or need, and envision a technology-based creative solution or product through research from CHMs' vast resources. Students craft written proposals and oral presentations to compete for funding from teachers and CHM educators who role-play venture capitalists. CHMs' inclusion in The New Learner consortium will contribute valuable STEM+ education outcomes concerning knowledge, skills, and attitudes transmitted outside of school, with potentially long-lasting rewards.
