To bring lessons to life, scholars will delve into engaging, hands-on projects at iconic locales such as the Museum of Natural History, Nicols Arboretum, and the UMMA; initiate a pay-it-forward service-learning project; and create a social justice simulation that we aspire to transform into an educational, interactive museum exhibit of its own.<\/p>\n<p>The hope is that CSP Summer Bridge scholars will emerge from this unique experience with new content knowledge as well as a deeper understanding of the why behind rules and formulae; an ability to conceptualize, question, and think more critically; an appreciation of the beauty and utility of mathematics; a broader and more intersectional view of the world of STEM and the humanistic and socially-relevant possibilities therein; and a sense of themselves as gifted creators, scholars, and agents for positive change.<\/p>\n<p>grant project description <\/p>\n<p>In this multi-phase Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion or &#8220;JEDI&#8221;-inspired project, CSP Summer Bridge scholars will co-create a redlining simulation in the spirit of an interactive museum exhibit. The simulation will invite viewer-participants  to follow the fortunes of two families, one Black and one White(1), across a span of nearly a century, and so to learn about redlining and its legacy. Through this project, the scholar-creators will have the opportunity to hone their mathematical modeling skills as they create a compelling, socially-relevant narrative; to pool their diverse gifts and experiences in service of a meaningful all-class collaboration; and to share their work with the university community and beyond.  <\/p>\n<p>(1) In this proposal, I&#8217;ve adopted the race and ethnicity capitalization conventions advanced by the National Association of Black Journalists and the Diversity Style Guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","grant_category":[4],"class_list":["post-168","grant_archive","type-grant_archive","status-publish","hentry","grant_category-level-i","entry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/grant-funding-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/grant_archive\/168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/grant-funding-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/grant_archive"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/grant-funding-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/grant_archive"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/grant-funding-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"grant_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/grant-funding-archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/grant_category?post=168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
