Imparting STEM Education Through Interactive Apps

Presenter: Gurmukh Singh

In literature the deterministic STEM education problems are solved using well-known numerical methods, whereas probabilistic problems are solved through Monte Carlo simulations. In both cases, computer simulation plays an important role and requires involvement of modern software systems and computational techniques to design such Apps. To improve the engagement of middle, secondary and post-secondary levels of  STEM education students, it becomes necessary to include many opportunities for learners and teachers to learn how to employ modern technology to better understand and promote students' engagement in the learning of mathematical concepts with technology-based pedagogy. This scholarly article is an attempt to highlights the designing of a variety of STEM education Apps to help teachers and students using readily available google/Spreadsheets and .NET Framework as an interactive exploratory teaching/learning tool. Several examples of designing STEM education Apps will be presented and discussed, which can be useful to the teachers in their own class-room teaching.
