We did a live science experiment with the girls on Wednesday, looking at a complex mathematical/scientific/social scenario known as The Prisoner's Dilemma. The girls played a game requiring them to make a choice that could result in earning different amounts of money, depending on the card combination of their card played and their partner's card played. Our first round, the girls were not allowed to talk and were matched at random with someone in the class. The second round, the girls had 15 seconds to talk with their partner. This moral dilemma experiment brought up many emotional as well as strategic responses. After the two rounds we debriefed and collected data to help note the patterns. This was a fascinating look at trust, communication and alliances. More to come next week!
