The program (all project work) should be split into two parts, each of which could take up to a quarter or half-year, with a science-fair-type forum at the end for all student presentations.
The first phase will be navigating the content of the AR app, completing pre and post quizzes, setting goals, and reflecting on content learning. Content includes science, history, and cultural competencies integrated into the AR app. Teaching practices during this phase will mostly incorporate a blended environment or flipped classroom so most student learning is self-directed, but with the support of deep conversations on racial inequity, black history, and restoring complex, intersectional narratives to the story of the moon landing.
The second phase consists of peer collaboration and group work to select one scientific/historical module from the app to focus on and begin mapping relationships for the purpose of creating a presentation for the final forum. Students will design a relationship map using the technology and format of their choice and then complete a project ready to present to their classmates. Teachers will facilitate group work and lead project design for the whole group. Students will reflect on their own work, the work of their peers, and their final presentations.
