Free Science and Math Courseware

A courseware that will help improve the Math and Science education of elementary students is now made available free of charge. It can be downloaded and installed easily and using it is just as simple. But you will need a flash player (which, by the way, is also free) to run it properly. 

The "Development of Computer-Aided Instructions for Science and Mathematics" project is being undertaken with a vision to improve Science and Mathematics education in the Philippines. The project is made possible through the collaboration of Science Education Institute (SEI) and Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).

In 2004, the Science Education Institute (SEI) approached the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI), with an idea. To enable schools take advantage of Information Technology (IT) in conducting classroom lectures. The plan was to optimize, streamline and standardize lesson presentation through the use of cost-effective and high quality solutions, which would then assist students to be more competitive, maximize and enhance learning through the use of this technology.

To date, about 7,000 copies of this courseware have been distributed to various public elementary schools, public offices, some foreign guests, science centrums and lawmakers.
