$1.1 million-plus Gates grants: ‘Galvanic’ bracelets that measure student engagement

In the ‘you-can’t-make-up-this-stuff’ category, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is spending about $1.1 million to develop a way to physiologically measure how engaged students are by their teachers’ lessons. This involves “galvanic skin response” bracelets that kids would wear so their engagement levels could be measured.

    I haven’t been engaged since 1995. It’s called pretending to care; it’s a valuable skill for the workforce.
