In this project, the team will create the technology-delivered version of Reading Roots II: Reading "Between the Lions," by integrating content from Between the Lions, including multimedia videos and learning games to personalize learning. To participate in the intervention, students will work for 10 to 30 minutes per day in pairs while sharing a laptop or tablet. Students will alternate in roles ...

In previous research and development, the developers created VidCode, a website where students in grades 4 to 12 manipulate digital media assets such as photos, audio, and graphics to create special effects in videos while learning about the code responsible for the action. VidCode is currently in widespread use in schools and districts around the country. In this project, the team will develop a ...

In this project, the developers will create A More Perfect Union, a tablet-based and class wide role-playing game for high school students. Using any web browser, teachers will access a library of simulations on a range of topics drawn from the AP U.S. History Curriculum and Common Core History Standards. The website will provide resources to guide implementation, including videos, individualized ...

The researchers will develop a dashboaed to assess children as they play games on different social and emotional and thinking tasks.

the team will develop a prototype of a multi-player virtual reality (VR) game where middle school students collaborate in observing complex earth science phenomena, such as exploring the ozone. The prototype will include one VR module which presents interactive content and a website portal where students analyze data and keep a personalized digital science journal. At the end of Phase I, in a pilo ...

This project will develop a prototype of a new component for the platform for high school students to develop stronger communication skills to improve college and career readiness. The prototype will include a performance-based game environment where students practice a range of skills, such as active listening, empathy, non-verbal communication, cultural awareness, and public speaking. The game w ...

Modern sensors in current weapon systems bring in complex, high-resolution data at high data rates which is sensitive to variations in the radar signatures from targets and background clutter. These systems need to be vetted against a variety of high-fidelity backgrounds and environments. There is a lack of mobile imaging systems that can make Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery and Radar Cross Secti ...

The goal of this Phase I SBIR program is to demonstrate the potential for AR projection and SWaP reduction by integrating a thermal imaging core into commercially available AR glasses designs and hardening them in order to resist impact damage. We believe that using Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) AR projection platforms provides the shortest Critical Path to developing a solution for the DoD.

As autonomous vehicles become more prevalent in day-to-day military and industry operations, the technology surrounding functionally-safe autonomous subsystems must become increasingly reliable. A vehicle’s kinetic energy must be safely dissipated during a stop. Steering and braking must be done intelligently to maintain vehicle control and mitigate vehicle wear and tear. There are many factors ...

According to Jane’s, “High Frequency (HF) communication systems are witnessing a resurgence as forward deployed and small unit teams seek to overcome emerging challenges associated with operating in Command and Control Denied or Degraded Environments (C2D2Es)”. According to senior service personnel from across the NATO special operations community, HF communications are being considered by m ...
