Video Games and the new STEM Initiative

President Obama announced his "Educate to Innovate" Campaign on November 23, 2009. This initiative is meant to improve STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. Video games were mentioned as a means of engaging students. I think we will be seeing a lot more utilization of video games in education in the coming years. Tektoma is in the process of applying for a government grant to study the effectiveness of Tektoma tutorials in teaching STEM topics.
For more information about the new initiative, Wired has a good write up: Educate to Innovate.
