Science
+ P.L.A.Y. = Smiles
(Professional Leadership And You)
Rapid
science and engineering advancement is absolutely
crucial to ensure economic growth. In the next 10 years,
the demand for U.S. scientists and engineers is expected
to increase at a rate four times that of other
occupations, with 15 of the 20 fastest growing occupations
projected through 2010 requiring substantial mathematics
and science preparation (International Society for
Optical Engineering, 2006).
The H-A-P-P-Y!!! Science S.A.C.K. offers a new way to introduce fundamental science
concepts through physically active recreational
games! Your kids will laugh, compete, get a great
workout and be introduced to relevant science concepts
that help reinforce the efforts of our great academic
institutions.
Research has shown that one of the most important things for successful concept aquision is the classroom is prior exposure. These games support our educational institutions by exposing children to key science concepts through rigorus physical activity, fun, competition, team work and laugher!
"The
more children are exposed to fun, relevant science
within the context of every day experiences, the higher
the probability that more children will internalize an
understanding of it's importance in the world....and
perhaps foster a desire to further pursue science
learning."
