Abstract

How can experience with technology aid younger students in future higher education and careers? A team of five Villanova University students is collaborating with the eighth grade teachers at the Julia de Burgos Bilingual Elementary school in North Philadelphia to assist eighth grade students in developing interdisciplinary exit projects mandated by the city for graduation and progression to high school. The collaboration is part of an eight-year effort to assist in providing meaningful experiences with technology for a school serving an economically deprived neighborhood. It has grown out of a module on equity in access to technology in the course on ethical issues in computer science required of undergraduate majors in the discipline.
