Abstract

The project (funded by NSF grants #XX and #YY) adapts
crowdsourcing to support project-based STEM education, posing design challenges for secondary-school students to design feasible innovative strategies to mitigate CO2 emissions and thus global warming. The paper presents evidence that the web-mediated communities of practice support STEM learning of concepts and STEM practices and enable an account of microgenesis of that learning. The full paper will incorporate analysis of full datasets from 8 teams. This proposal draws on data from the abstract proposal and revision phase of 3 project teams.
