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.

1. 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.

2. "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.

3. 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.
