Note: Double Click! is the 2nd-semester project team. For information on the previous semester, view the 1st-semester website.
Experts believe that the underrepresentation of women in STEM-related careers is a problem which begins between the ages of ten to fourteen.The goal of Double Click! is to continue developing a game-centric website for 11-13 year-old girls that embraces STEM content (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and hopefully generates more interest in these fields. The Double Click! team was assigned this mission by the Girls Math and Science Partnership at The Carnegie Science Center, who originally created the Click! Summer Program for tween girls to promote interest in STEM topics. This mission is funded by a MacArthur Foundation 2010 Digital Media and Learning grant.
