BPS+StarLogo+TNG



=**Boston Public School StarLogo TNG 2009 - 2011** Project**﻿**= For the past two years, the MIT Scheller Teacher Education Program (STEP) and MIT Media Labs have collaborated with the TechBoston unit of Boston Public Schools’ Office of Instructional and Information Technology (OIIT) to conduct workshops for the BPS middle and high school computer science and technology teachers to learn about integrating computer modeling, programming, and 3D games into STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) classes. MIT professor Eric Klopfer and his team developed StarLogo TNG that enables teachers to design ready-to-implement curricular units and activities that complement existing Mathematics, Science and Technology curricula and introduce techniques that enhance student learning. Since 2009, 18 BPS educators have explored diverse computer modeling and games units using the StarLogo TNG educational software tool which is a graphical programming environment designed with the goal of providing free access for teachers and students who are interested in creating 3D games and simulations. The MIT STEP and MIT Media Labs design and development team includes: __Lead StarLogo TNG Designers__** : ** Eric Kloper & Andrew Begel __Lead StarLogo TNG Developers:__ Corey McCaffery, Daniel Wendell, Aidan Ho, Ricarose Roque, William Jacobs, David Blau, Adam Rosenfield, Viknash Samy, David Greenspan, Linda Ye, Joshua Thorp
