Million-Dollar Grant Seeks to Spark Young Gamers' Interest in Science

The National Science Foundation is funding a project at N.C. State University [pictured above] to develop a video game that helps improve computer science knowledge retention in middle school kids. The NSF called the $1 w69 slot ทาง เข้า​ million grant to State necessary in light of the decline in students enrolled in the so-called STEM fields – science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The NSF noted that projections say American high tech employers will have more computer science job openings than can be filled by competent graduates.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The funding is meant to create a game that encourages students to pursue a career in computer science. The lead researcher at State also w69 slot ทางเข้า​ built one teaching scientific concepts to fifth graders. This is all well and good, but if we’re talking about a computer w69 slot เครดิตฟรี 188 บาท​ game designed to spur video gamers’ interest in the applied sciences, and encourage them to enroll at a university that teaches them, I think the NSF should pay EA Sports a couple million to make State the preseason No. 1 every year in NCAA Football.
