Agavi
Agavi is an adaptive learning platform designed for smartphones that enables teachers to build innovative new experiences for their students. Teachers will be able to create non-linear activities, track where their students are and how they’re progressing in an activity, and interface with the real world via location and sensors to allow for novel activities.

Sustainable States
Sustainable States is a role-playing curriculum we are developing for teaching geosciences, governance, and sustainability. Students in this experience role-play as leaders of various nations, learning the constraints under which nations operate while addressing sustainability issues. Additionally, teachers who adopt the curriculum undergo teacher training so that they can implement game-based learning in other courses that they teach.
