Our Mission
To motivate learning through teamwork, creativity and problem solving by using mathematics, science, engineering and business interactive "real-world' simulations, projects and activities.
Objectives
Help you stimulate interest in mathematics, science and engineering in all students regardless of age. Teamwork and creative problem solving skills will foster acceptance and improve self expression. These projects offer a glimpse of real-life careers based in math and science that the student can pursue.
