Why is it important?

Instructors will find this unique textbook to be very useful with students, of various ages, in creative education and engineering classes. This special book offers something for everyone. It serves as a guide for teachers in charge of science fairs and creative classes, especially those which require STEM education. It also includes activities to help develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills and prepares students who plan to become teachers and mentors of the future. Readers in general can simultaneously enjoy and learn about ICT’s impact on STEM and modern education. In addition, e-learning designers and administrators who want to introduce e-learning systems into their organizations can refer to this book as a reference and a resource. The book complements most e-learning and ICT education books which generally focus too much on technical issues.

Perspectives

Prof. Barry in Clarkson University and I aim to show that creative education and STEM for youngsters could be more effective in classrooms and daily lives by ICT. An at the same time, this book is a happy combination between practical creative hands-on experiments and theories. We believe this unique book will make contribution to the education for youngsters who will make our world in the future much better.
