2008 AIG-GAP
River City
This year I am working hard to get you access to Harvard University's time-travel machine. If all goes well we will be traveling back in time to a 19th century village that is being ravaged by disease.
Here is Harvard University's description of where we will go and what we will do.
As visitors to River City, students travel back in time, bringing their 21st century skills and technology to address 19th century problems. Based on authentic historical, sociological, and geographical conditions, River City is a town besieged with health problems. Students work together in small research teams to help the town understand why residents are becoming ill. Students use technology to keep track of clues that hint at causes of illnesses, form and test hypotheses, develop controlled experiments to test their hypotheses, and make recommendations based on the data they collect, all in an online environment.
For more information see the River City website at http://muve.gse.harvard.edu/rivercityproject/.
