Social Studies Sidekick
Created by: Alyssa Wilson, Ross Staszak, Milad Alemohammad, Jessica Binda, and Todd Nappi

This project was created over the course of two classes during the "Democracy" symposium - "The Election" and "Civil Rights." Initially, the students involved with the project developed, in partnership with the Science Leadership Academy, a teaching module that would assist teachers in educating their students about the Electoral College. The scope of the project was broadened during the second class to include a module on educating students on matters pertaining to LGBT civil rights.
