"Kinetic City After School" is a two-year project that will produce a web-based after-school program for children ages 9-11. The on-line adventure will enable users to enter a virtual universe where a computer virus (Deep Delete) systematically attacks a new area of science each month (analogous to one of the 12 Project 2061 Benchmarks for Science Literacy). As students battle the virus, they learn Benchmarks learning goals. Each unit invites children to think about the problem, take action and reflect on their experience. The activities accommodate different learning styles and are supplemented by live audio chats with scientists and a self-assessment enables students to earn Kinetic City Power Points. Power Points can be donated to after school programs without computers and Internet access. These sites may in turn, exchange their accumulated Power Points to obtain computers, Internet service and a site license for "Kinetic City After School." Although the program is web-based, most of the activity extensions are done off-line. "Kinetic City After School" will be introduced to after-school sites with a two-day training workshop, with follow-up via phone meetings and site visits. Supporting materials will include a Leader Guide, Journal and Kinetic City Home Crew activity pages for use in the home.

“放学后的动力城市”是一个为期两年的项目，它将针对9-11岁的儿童制定基于网络的课后计划。 在线冒险将使用户能够进入虚拟宇宙，在该虚拟宇宙中，计算机病毒（深删除）每个月都会系统地攻击一个新的科学领域（类似于12个项目2061基准之一的科学素养基准之一）。 当学生与病毒作斗争时，他们学习了基准学习目标。 每个单位邀请孩子们考虑这个问题，采取行动并反思自己的经验。 这些活动适合不同的学习方式，并通过与科学家的实时音频聊天补充，自我评估使学生能够获得动力学的城市电力点。 可以将电源点捐赠给没有计算机和互联网访问的课后课程。 这些站点可能又可以交换其累积的功率点，以获得计算机，互联网服务和“放学后动力城市”的网站许可。 尽管该程序是基于Web的，但大多数活动扩展是离线完成的。 “放学后的动力城市”将被介绍到课后现场，其中包括为期两天的培训研讨会，并通过电话会议和现场访问进行跟进。 辅助材料将包括领导者指南，日记和动力学城市工作人员活动页面，可在家庭中使用。
