Global education provider Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) has announced a partnership with Children's Hospital Boston aimed at strengthening STEM education by showing its real-world applications and exploring how math and engineering concepts solve problems every day.
Over the course of three days, Michael DiSpezio, author of HMH's Science Fusion K-8 programme, will be visiting Children's Hospital Boston to film a series of videos that will highlight the conceptual skills required for future technology and medical/engineering careers. This video series will culminate with DiSpezio observing a robotic micro-surgery and viewing some of the other technology used at the hospital, which includes medical imaging and micro-surgical tools.
Each video will eventually become part of the Science Fusion curriculum and, using a project-based learning approach, will highlight the opportunities available to all students in STEM careers, which address challenges using a math and technology-focused approach.
