Black out Polar design challenge
The goal in this challenge is to make a mitt that is insulated enough to endure the freezing cold. Students learned about materials that conduct heat, and how to create insulation. They tested the ice cold water bath first without their mitt, then with two mitts, made with different materials. This activity was designed to encourage ways to survive during a black-out polar experience.
DIVAS (Digital Interactive Visual Arts Sciences) for Social Justice aims to bridge the digital divide by combining media literacy and cultural awareness along with a vast understanding of technology to encourage young women in under served communities to pursue careers in computer science and new media.
