Houston, TEXAS, March 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- D3esports Corp., a division of StemGen, Inc. (OTC: SGNI), is pleased to announce it has achieved STEM accreditation through STEM.org Educational Research™ (SER).
The association between StemGen and SER is a natural one as both organizations have a vested interest in reaching soon-to-be drivers and high school-aged students who have already earned their driver’s licenses. Additionally, these young adults are approaching a critical developmental phase where they are searching for meaningful educational opportunities and beginning to consider today where they fit into tomorrow’s workforce.
According to NSF.gov and Pew Research, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields will outpace all other occupations with an 18.7% growth rate and STEM workers will enjoy a pay advantage compared to non-STEM workers with similar levels of education. Both organizations value STEM education and have opted to pool resources above and beyond the initial programmatic evaluation process to enact substantive change, utilizing the best in STEM innovation to help teach it.
Founded in 2001, STEM.org Educational Research™ strives to improve academic achievement at the institutional level by assisting partnering organizations and companies with their efforts to encourage students to pursue STEM careers. SER achieves this by facilitating communication, building organizational intelligence, cultivating strategic pathways for future success and recognizing the STEM efforts of top performing outreach programs and initiatives.
“Our collaboration with STEM.org is one that means a great deal to me,” said Simon Dawson, CEO/ President of D3esports. “Having a son who will soon be learning how to drive on the road gave me the interest to connect teaching kids about safe driving through our virtual-to-real motorsports driving experiences. Not only do the schools not have the funds for traditional on the road teaching any longer but many kids don’t have the interest these days. But teaching through gamification can capture their attention and serve as an inspirational learning tool that also keeps their attention throughout the process and beyond.”
“StemGen and D3esports virtual-to-real motorsports training platform is a perfect instrument to bring stakeholders together at various levels within the STEM ecosystem,” said Andrew B. Raupp, Founder/ Executive Director of SER. “Once we began quantifying the assets of the program, our team recognized immediately that this is an exceptional opportunity to engage students unlike anything that we have seen. The abilities to inspire STEM through the virtual-to-real platform StemGen and D3esports offers are endless. The timing could not be better because esports is advancing at lightning speed and many students at this age have expressed a high level of interest.”
