Its strange but its true. Now kids will be
seen learning science with the help of creepy-crawly bugs. A not-for-profit
organisation in US, Entomological Foundation, has developed innovative
game-based multimedia content to teach science to kids through insects. A Pune
based software company Harbinger Group has partnered with
Entomological Foundation.
This product will be for the students of third
and fourth grade. The mission of the Foundation is to 'to
build a future for entomology by educating young people about science through
insects' by offering educational interactive activities',
and this mission of the Foundation will reflect with the objective of online
content. April Gower, executive vice-president of the
Foundation, said: 'This is a special initiative because educating children
about the exciting world of insects and their role in our environment through
the use of interactive multimedia activities is quite a challenging task.'
Also the Foundation wants to attract kids and to teach them followed by easy
instructions through fun. Furthermore, the multimedia
content should load fast even in slow Internet connections for the children
not to lose interest. The interactive games and e-learning activities will be
available on the foundations website.
