Hofstra University, in partnership with Bloomsburg University, has selected The Alexander Dawson School as one of 12 sites across the country to serve as a pilot to test Survival Master 3D, a multiplayer computer game that teaches middle school students engineering and technology concepts. Funded by the National Science Foundation, the game challenges middle school students to virtually build a model of an emergency shelter that can keep victims in Alaska alive after a devastating earthquake. A hands-on, physical modeling version of the curriculum – taught using tools and materials – is employed in conjunction with the virtual experience.
