Making History, with youth in STEM
Shouts to the 6 Students from the Bronx Academy of Promise Charter School for winning the Verizon Innovative App Challenge! What makes this App unique is that it’s an app Designed to help improve the fundamental math skills of students. The app is called QuestMath. Of course I am excited for them and I’ve downloaded it – BUT I do wish they’re instructors and facilitators would have exposed them to Ancient Egypt and individuals such as Imhotep, the father of Mathematics and science for that matter.
