Jere Confrey, Ph.D., professor of education, and Alan Maloney, Ph.D., senior research coordinator in biology, both in Arts & Sciences, provide computer help to University City sixth-graders Tia Cooper and Keya Freeman during a summer research program. The three-week program, funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, taught eight sixth-grade students about computer animations and the mathematical ideas that underlie them and allowed the students to create their own animated computer projects.
