news coverage for the curiosity school- stem education app
DESCRIPTION
This presentation lists all the recent press coverage received by for Curiosity School - STEM series app developed by MicroEmpowering. The app is a greener alternative for teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to curious middle school students. This iPad app was designed to promote a "learn by doing" approach to education by providing each user with a series of experiments, which are easily reproduced at home. For enhanced learning, each experiment focuses on explaining how a certain STEM education concept works in practice. This hands-on app allows students to take scientific theory to the next level by building and testing concepts in the real world, while fostering an interactive on-line learning experience.TRANSCRIPT
Americans made 80 percent of all scientific discoveries from the 1930s to the 1960s. The United States owes its status to its investment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Today, many countries are following suit by offering STEM education programs, improved infrastructure, numerous research opportunities, STEM scholarships, and active government support.
"The United States has been the dominant science superpower since the 1950s. As a result, in the early 1960s, the United States was spending seven times more money on scientific research than Europe," said Carolina Cabral Murphy, Co-Founder of MicroEmpowering.
Focusing on college education and offering STEM scholarships to college students will not suffice. Those who obtain STEM degrees typically start to show interest in science by age 11. This means that interest in science and mathematics must be nurtured and encouraged during childhood.With this challenge in mind MicroEmpowering.org launched an App called Curiosity School - STEM education series.
