There are several reasons I think the project is worthy of this blog that receives such wildly high traffic .
- It involves a teenager and an adult working happily together at an academic task. (Might ought to get Guinness involved. The book of records, not the beer.)
- It will produce a model, whose subject is currently undisclosed, that can be used by both my peers and her peers.
- The ultimate goal involves Destiny and I presenting our completed model at a conference and sharing the model openly via a website we design, or some other as yet undetermined media. (From the time children are born we tell them to share and then they grow up and we tell them to quit sharing and sell their stuff. What?! No. Think 'open source'. Share the goodness.)
At our first research meeting we , mostly Destiny, identified our research goal and our research question. She also made a rough draft of the model. In addition, we had Chiptole and Starbucks.
It was a wildly successful meeting if you ask me.
Next stop on this crazy train ... the lit review!
