Globesight
is a software tool developed in the Systems Engineering
and Mathematics Department at Case which uses real world
data to model global and sustainable development
scenarios. As part of the Global-problematique Education
Network Initiative (GENIe) of UNESCO, Globesight was
designed in conjunction with a global issues course
taught at Case for the last 10 years. GENIe is a
world-wide consortium of secondary schools and schools
of higher education who are collectively addressing
these issues. Hathaway Brown has been piloting
Globesight on the secondary level locally as part of
their AP Statistics class and plans to use it as part of
their social science, history, biology, and psychology
course work. In addition, Gilmour Academy will be
offering similar course work this fall. This curriculum
is intended to be suitable for any public or private
school that is looking to strengthen their mathematics
and science education through the use of model
development and real scientific data.
