MIT Tech News: Spotlight on service

"... A lack of scientists and engineers can stunt economic growth in both developed and developing countries. The InnoBox team attributes students’ lack of interest in science to deficiencies in science education — specifically, inadequate teaching materials in primary schools. They plan to address the problem with inexpensive and portable kits for teaching science and engineering, called “InnoBoxes” and developed in conjunction with Cambridge-based United InnoWorks Academy. Using their $15,000 worth of seed funding (a $10,000 IDEAS award and a $5,000 Community Choice award), the group will partner with a middle school in South Africa to bring the kits to more than 300 students."

... our plan is to impact a lot more youths, in rural areas all over the world,...
