I am proposing FairytaleFashion.org for a grant from the MacArthur Foundation and Obama’s initiative to “Reimagine Learning”. I would like to create Fairytale Fashion Lab and expand FairytaleFashion.org into a program for classrooms. The grant applications are now open for public feedback before we revise them. I welcome your feedback! http://www.dmlcompetition.net/pligg/story.php?title=664

This is a fabulous idea! Talk about closing the math gender gap. (Now, if we could close it in the other direction with the reading gender gap.) Just looking through your blogs, I can see a lot of projects that would be very appealing in a classroom… and they teach art at the same time as math, so it’s like getting art back into the classroom, too.
Win all around. Good luck with the grant.
I love the Fairytale Fashion, I think this is an enlightenment for all ages. I could really see it in are schools to show are students that there life can be enriched with mathematics and fashion. I really hope you can get grant.
We need projects such as yours to help high school students interested in fashion strengthen their skills in science and mathematics. Good luck – please keep family and consumer sciences education and the student organization http://www.fcclainc.org in mind!
