Students can not only depend on one source of learning, which is the form of the traditional classroom teacher; the students will also receive extra help by using the technology we provide, therefore building a bridge for them. The Science Animation videos are a wonderful tool not only as a method of improving academic performance, but as a cost effect way to share those successful videos throughout the region and the world. In these videos, we are covering the most common Science topics for grades 9-12 and we can convert these videos in other languages like Spanish.
7. Multinational Student online contest forum: This program is the cornerstone of our organization and our strategy is to use technology to help improve student?s interest in STEM subjects. In addition to the benefit that the students in US will enjoy, since this is an online program, these forums are available for other students throughout the world.
