Bringing Better STEM Education to the Rural South

ED Surge

Think Like a Scientist The lessons focus on chemistry and physics, two “gatekeeper” subjects that are typically seen as more difficult, Schneider says. The curriculum aligns with the principles of Next Generation Science Standards. Chemistry and physics teachers within these schools will deliver the curriculum.

Creating software that works for everyone

Futurum

John agrees that combining studies in computing with science, social science or business courses will not only give you a broader education but will allow you to apply your software engineering skills in a wider range of applications (e.g., At university, I planned to major in chemistry or progress to medical school.

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

Yes, there can be a lot of flexibility in this model. Beyond the “Exact Sciences” In areas like the physical sciences we’re used to the idea of being able to develop broad theories that can do things like make quantitative predictions. But one can’t have a truly “model-less model”. So might AI change that?

How Did We Get Here? The Tangled History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Stephen Wolfram

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. As a practical matter, thermodynamics in its basic equilibrium form nevertheless became very widely used in engineering and in chemistry.
