The Selene project is part of a NASA initiative to inspire today's youth toward science, technology, engineering, and math careers.

Kids will play an experimental game designed to teach them science while assessing how much they learn by playing the game. Youth between the ages of 13 and 18 who have parental permission will take about one hour to play the game. Each player must be sponsored by a Selene recruiter.

The game was created by two students, Will Hankinson and Matt Gilbert, working as graduate research assistants in my lab in Spring 2007. The Wheeling Jesuit University's Center for Educational Technology will be running learning experiments on the game during the Summer and Fall of 2007.

You can learn more about the game at the Selene website.
