Project GROW aims to empower students to solve global problems through educational technology and partnerships. The project brings together teachers and students from different schools to conduct scientific research collaboratively online. Students will develop skills using Edmodo and other online tools over the first few weeks of the school year. Teachers will then invite scientists to mentor the students and provide expertise. Students will begin collaborating on research projects in October by brainstorming ideas and sharing resources on a wiki platform. The goal is for students to identify issues, conduct technological research, propose solutions, and communicate their findings to help address worldwide problems.
