Free Math & Science courses from MIT

This post is an excerpt from BLOSSOMS Quick Tour.

MIT
BLOSSOMS is a STEM education initiative. Science,
technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)
education is a relatively new way of thinking
about how best to educate high school students
for the workforce and for post-secondary education.
High school education must adapt to the changing
needs of the global economy. All sectors of
the workforce – from entry-level jobs
to more advanced positions – are requiring
workers to have a greater capacity to think
critically, work independently, and apply
an ever widening set of sophisticated skills.
BLOSSOMS aims to increase student interest
in and enthusiasm about careers in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics.

GreenGoose sticker sensors on your Toothbrush

This post is an excerpt from ReadWriteWeb.

The company demonstrated today how its technology, which is currently in pre-production in China, lets a user put a sticker containing a tiny sensor and a year's worth of battery power, on the handle of a toothbrush, for example. The motion of the toothbrush sends a message to the Green Goose base station which then publishes a record of the activity online. A wide range of everyday activities can be tracked and the whole system was a big crowd pleaser at Jason Calacanis's Launch conference. Two members of the panel of investor judges put $100,000 into the startup on the spot while the company was still on stage. A third, Bill Warner, had already invested. "It's amazing and there's so much more you haven't even heard," he said about the company.

The Internet makes Teens Engaged Citizens

This post is an excerpt from Brief.

Arguably, the upheaval, activism and revolutions in of the last two months may serve to counter what has been a longstanding stereotype: youth are largely apolitical. Moreover, those that do participate in politics and activism online do so in shallow ways, the so-called "slacktivism." But recent findings from a longitudinal study of high school-age students challenges these notions, suggesting that youth who pursue their interests online are more likely to be engaged in civic issues.
