Joseph Polman is interested in how people learn science and history through inquiry and with the support of technology, both in community-based out-of-school programs and in schools. An important goal of his research is to inform the design of learning environments that involve young people with powerful tools for democratic participation, in order to better prepare them as citizens.听
