From the Boston Globe: Contest helps boost math, science skills
As part of "GlobalChallenge, a Vermont-based contest aimed at improving American high school students' math and science skills...58 teams of American students coupled with students from China, India and Japan tackled technological solutions to global warming. They chatted online, divided jobs based on skill, consulted with advisers, and in the final grueling weeks, wrote a professional business plan."
Students learned the challenges associated with collaborating across distances - but also seemed to benefit from opportunities to work collectively to generate creative solutions to scientific and mathematics problems.
