This project addresses the lack of diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Studies show that socially conscious, project based learning courses best encourage diversity in STEM. In response, we developed the prototype for a multimedia, project-based learning course. This course provides different perspectives and learning outcomes based on the fog water harvesting project by the Non-Governmental Organization, Dar Si Hmad, in southwest Morocco.
