Imagine if we could nurture every child’s inquisitive nature about our world into a passionate curiosity about science.
We could inspire a generation of young minds to pursue the answers that will change the world.

Jobs in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) are increasing by 3.3 % annually with 8.6 million jobs projected in 2018.
Yet schools are failing to keep students interested in science and math.
Future staffing of STEM jobs is at risk invirtually every country simply because there will not be enough qualified employees.

The Problem

The Call-to-Action
“One of an all-hands-on-deck approach to science, technology, engineering, and math… We need to make this a priority to train an army of new teachers in these subject areas, and to make sure that all of us as a country are lifting up these subjects for the respect that they deserve.”President Barack Obama Third Annual White House Science Fair, April 2013

The Gap
by Fourier Education
Traditional lectures are failing students in STEM discipline.Active learning increases student performance in science, engineering, and mathematics.*
STEM is in a global crisis. The best and the brightest students are opting out of STEM subjects at alarming rates all over the world. **

Opportunity
Market Needs:• An integrated multi-function tool matched
for age-appropriate audience.This is especially true for science learning in younger grades – K-6
• To provide assistance and tools to under-qualified teachers in the science classroom.
• To provide a platform that will allow content and technology to integrate and match
by Fourier Education
Note:There is no single dominant brand.Emerging markets are focusing on education, STEM education and the use of technology

Mission
einstein™World empowers teachers and inspires students (K-12) by providing an engaging science learning experience that unifies sensor-based experiments, interactive multimedia activities and user-friendly analysis applications on any tablet or computer.
Research shows the earlier you expose children toscience, technology, engineering and math (STEM),the more likely they are to succeed in STEM
If we can get these tools into thehands of teachers and students,we can change the equationand help them explore andbegin to ask the questionsto find their inner scientist.
