"new computer school in Paris has been overwhelmed by some 60,000 applicants. The school, called 42, was founded by a telecom magnate who says the French education system is failing young people. His aim is to reduce France's shortage in computer programmers while giving those who've fallen by the wayside a new chance. In the hallways of 42, suitcases and sleeping bags are piled, and people are stretched out on mattresses in some of the corners. There are showers and dozens of colorful bath towels. Living here for the next month are some of the 4,000 potential students who already made the first cut by passing cognitive skill tests online. Now they have to clear another hurdle. They're thrown together and challenged with computer problems for 15 hours a day. Only 800 students will get a place, says 42′s director, Nicolas Sadirac."

The tools created are based on the tools that our research scienctists use, and include a lightbox for comparing media; drawing, measuring and annotation tools,; a personalized fieldbook; and a context tool for using multimedia, including 3D objects, to solve problems, and investigate issues. Rebecca has directed the development of this software, including UX oversight, design direction, vendor management, QA testing, data management, IT systems integration, privacy and security coordination, and collaboration with our education and science teams. The software is fully designed, and is in Alpha state, on track for beta release by August 2013.
