From the CEO

Preparing a new generation of students to advance scientific discovery and technological innovation has become a major goal for ministries of education across the globe.  Many countries have identified and adopted STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education as the answer to meet these challenges.  STEM provides the basic building blocks for students to gain the knowledge and experience for future careers.

Current research, by EUN Schoolnet, shows that when STEM subjects are approached with technology-based learning tools, students have demonstrated: increased enthusiasm for science courses, they gather accurate data more quickly which saves time and they are better able to grasp abstract science concepts. Fourier is committed to providing teachers, and students of all age groups, with a comprehensive STEM-based solution.

Fourier strives to create learning environments that inspire and excite students. Technology is the means to generate and stimulate student creativity. It is, of course, up to teachers to harness ICT and utilize it in a way that best suits their classroom. Addressing new and upcoming subjects in science is just one example of how proper use of technology can have a massive impact on learning and the student’s motivation.

We, at Fourier, have witnessed a sharp increase in demand among environmental science teachers for tangible solutions to teach renewable energy. This year, Fourier introduces renewable energy science education kits, TERRA NOVA™, which provide teachers and students with the tools needed to investigate renewable (solar & wind) energy. Students will be able to learn exactly how these technologies work and will be inspired to explore alternative energy technologies beyond the classroom and their impact on everyday life. These tools may well serve as the basis and inspiration for many students to seek out a career in a STEM related profession.

Fourier is always ready to address any questions you have about our products and would love to hear from you. Please feel free to share your experiences with us.

Sincerely,

Ken Zwiebel
