ACMES project employs a design-based research methodology focusing on continuous cycles of design, enactment, analysis, and redesign around Earth and Environmental themes interleaved with learning objectives in mathematics and computational thinking at a pace that is grade-level appropriate. To facilitate the development and use of our instructional modules and professional development for teachers, we have developed a web-based cloud tool that:
Advances student problem solving skills
Engages student learning via interactive simulations
Cultivates students’ inventiveness and entrepreneurial spirit
