gaming for education
A school support platform to teach STEM subjects in a recreational way with different learning units from elemetary to k-12.
In simply terms this solution tries to give an advance tool to the learning institutes or schools a recreational and modern way to learn the STEM subjects.
The plan for the solution is to create an app with a serial of learning units so is easy to use in every device and the students can practice in school or in their houses as a complement for what they saw in class, trying to solve real-life problems as a Case Study Method. The teacher will have the facility to track every team or every student progress as well of their perfomance and social skills.
The solution’s goal is to give from elementary to high school students another perspective of STEM subjects, by giving to the institutes the tools to teach through an adventure, as a video game, simulations and colaboration. The students will be able to use learning to solve real-life problems.
- Recover the interest of learning STEM subjects.
- Reduce the time of learning and application of STEM skills.
- Increase the amount of STEM knowledgement.
- Development of social skills as teamwork, leadership, respect to the guidelines, innovation.
- Find new ways to apply the knowledge, merge capabilties
- Evolute the traditional paths to learn.
- Take advantages of new technologies.
- Catch the attention against video games.
The solution is focused on students and teachers as a useful tool for schools.
Their lives change reducing the stress for apprehension the hardful STEM concepts and their application in the real life.
Both will find new recreational and colaborational ways to learn and take advantage of technologies.
Actually i'm a student and I have already applied in the math class a project that is very similar to what I want to share with the humanity. My math teacher encourage me to continue with this original idea.
I live in Mexico, my father has a company focused on develop e-learning courses, my brother is a pedagogist in a national university and all of us shared the idea of the urge of develop persons who have solid STEM and social skills.
- Improving learning opportunities and outcomes for learners across their lifetimes, from early childhood on (Learning)
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model
Actually I have a home made learning unit as a game that could be as a basic example of what I would like to develop in the platform.
My teacher approved that is useful and helps to learn Special Products into Algebra knowledgement.
- A new use of an existing technology (e.g. application to a new problem or in a new location)
The solution works with a platform so it will be a software were teachers and students can log in via internet.
- Other
- Mexico
Because this project is new we don't have any people who we serve. But when we can finance the project we plan to start with a school who can give us permission to use the platform with their students.
For the next year is to start learning how to program and in the process getting to know people who would like to support or work in the solution.
Currently I can't measure the progress because the solution only has a prototype that will work as an idea for what I want to achieve with this project.
Technical: I only know the workers of my Dad that could work only in their spare time.
Financial: I don't have any money to start the project so I can't afford to pay to persons to help to the solution.
Myself: I am a teenager who doesn't know very well all the process for doing this project, so it will have to wait until I have money to pay someone or I finish my university.
I'm the only person working in the team for now but when I get financial aid hopefully the project could start developing before I finish my career.
I don't work or have any partnerships with any organization but in the future I'm looking forward so they can mentor or give any advices for the solution.
- Yes
As a girl, I would love other girls around the world to accomplish their dreams and more if they are interested in the STEM subjects because their is a lot of diference between the boys and the girls in these areas.
Also I would hope that this solution can give girls all around the world another perspective of the STEM topics and be more interested about it. Even though this solution focuses in teenagers.
- No
