The
Magical Dimension project,
which ran in
an elementary school After school hours, was an application of the
Fifth Dimension
"design experiment"
which drew on the artifacts
and human resources of the original Fifth Dimension project, La Clase
Magica, and other Fifth Dimension applications to construct a
multilingual, informal learning environment serving diverse children
with very diverse educational needs. Development of the Magical
Dimension coincided with and was related to the development of the
Coalition.
The Magical Dimension project, a collaborative
effort of a school district, a Boys and Girls Club, and UCSD, ended in
June 1999. The partners continue their collaboration in the form of a
school-supported homework club that runs at the Boys and Girls Club and
is coordinated with UCSD's Fifth Dimension project.
