1. Independent Data:
On STEAM performance and student engagement – from Harvard, NECS, and the Pew Research Center – that indicates post-pandemic learners are craving inspired intervention, while highlighting worrisome results in maths, reading, science and digital literacy
2. Ten research-backed reasons:
Why game design helps students re-engage with STEAM disciplines in practical and interconnected ways, which are accessible to a broad range of learners
3. Real-world case studies:
Demonstrating successful classroom implementations from leading technology schools like Thomas A. Edison CTE High
