Description

• 101 is reimagining the college STEM classroom with engagement tools for active learning. The college STEM classroom hasnt fundamentally changed in centuries. For many math and science students, their course experience mainly involves sitting in a large lecture hall while listening to a professor talk for an hour straight. Unsurprisingly, this form of passive learning leads to poor student outcomes, where an astounding 40% of aspiring STEM majors dropout. While clickers and e-books have brought some technology into the classroom, these tools still rely on static content and generic multiple choice questions. Our first product, Chem101, provides subject-specific tools for chemistry professors to engage their students in the classroom with active learning. For example, Chem101 features a module that allows students to intuitively draw and visualize Lewis structures on their personal devices. Rather than multiple choice questions, students draw and submit molecular structures in assignments that professors push out during lecture. Students get automated feedback on their answers and professors see what their entire class is drawing in real time so they can promote a class discussion about common mistakes. Chem101 was piloted with 2000 students during the Fall 2016 semester at 8 colleges/universities across the U.S. including Carnegie Mellon University, Columbia University, and the University of Cincinnati. 40% of students said using Chem101 made them more interested in chemistry after using the product for just 2-3 weeks of the curriculum 77% said they preferred Chem101 over existing course tools, i.e. clickers Students who learned Lewis structures using Chem101 performed up to 200% better compared to those who used traditional learning tools (based on pre and post-semester testing)
