Smarter Cities and Smarter Students

The Partnership for Inclusive Innovation is pleased to share a classroom activity for middle and high school students with teachers and administrators across the state of Georgia! In summer 2021, the Partnership, in collaboration with CEISMC and Microsoft, worked with two Savannah teachers to develop a high school math curriculum based on Georgia Smart Community Challenge projects. As part of their GIFT experience, the two teachers worked with the City of Savannah’s Civic Data Science for Equitable Development project to frame out a classroom activity that answers the frequent student question: “When will I use this in real life?”.

Workshop for Middle and High School Teachers:
Adding Feedback Principles and Understanding to Teaching Robotics, Programming Classes - Friday, June 10

Feedback as a phenomenon is everywhere: in our actions, in our bodies, and in the natural world around us. The cycle of “measure, compute, decide, adjust, and repeat” is fundamental to everything we do and everything we learn. When people help other people learn to better use feedback, it is called coaching. When humans try to teach machines how to use feedback automatically on their own, that’s where we come in.
