That’s the argument of Peter Liljedahl, a professor of mathematics education at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, who has spent years researching what works in teaching. But the researcher says he has heard from hundreds of teachers who have reported improvements in test scores. How did that go? Teachers hated it.

His team began its research with the end goal of creating a sustainable and practical alternative to plastic packaging. But our research won’t stop there. Under his mentorship, I have not only evolved into a better researcher but also a better person. From lab to factory How does such a product come into existence?

Scientists conduct research, ask questions, and make discoveries. Creating documentaries, game shows, or even music videos, learners must research topics and craft every detail from scripts to stories. Learners see the challenges characters face time and again as they work to achieve a goal. The Silent “L” in STEAM.

It supports several of the new ISTE NETS for Students: Empowered Learner: Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences. A growing body of research confirms the benefits of building a sense of community in school.

Researchers have found that half of engineering design-based science lessons did not tie into any science concepts and only 11% promoted understanding of science concepts! All are important goals, but to achieve them, we need to make them clear! If they did, well then you have the next Einstein in your class!

Across the 35 years since Version 1 we’ve been able to continue accelerating our research and development process, year by year building on the functionality and automation we’ve created. But while LLMs are “the biggest single story” in Version 13.3,

It began partly as an empirical law, and partly as something abstractly constructed on the basis of the idea of molecules, that nobody at the time knew for sure existed. But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century.

Sometimes textbooks will gloss over everything; sometimes they’ll give some kind of “common-sense-but-outside-of-physics argument”. In some types of rules it’s basically always there , by construction. But one never quite gets there ; it always seems to need something extra. But the mystery of the Second Law has never gone away.

A lot of science—and technology—has been constructed specifically around computationally reducible phenomena. Once again, I had no idea this was “out there”, and certainly I would never have been able to construct it myself. There is, however, a subtlety here. Back in 1987—as part of building Version 1.0

Traditional blockchains achieve consensus through what amounts to a centralized mechanism (even though there are multiple “decentralized” copies of the blockchain that is produced). And for example in 1978 the following “radius 3” rule (operating on size-7 neighborhoods) was constructed (and we’ll call it the “GKL rule”): &#10005.

One of the key things that had originally let me start “scientifically investigating” cellular automata is that out of all the infinite number of possible constructible rules, I’d picked a modest number on which I could do exhaustive experiments. Of course, as is typical in the history of ideas, there’s more to the story.
