Programs & Materials Highlights
Our forward-thinking and groundbreaking research projects often result in insightful and inspiring learning materials, many for free.
Signing Math and Science
What it is: Signing Math & Science uses SigningAvatar® assistive technology to develop illustrated, interactive 3D standards-based sign language dictionaries that offer students ingrades K-8 and 9-12who are deaf and hard of hearing increased access to the same learning opportunities that hearing students enjoy.
Takeaway:To thrive in a future shaped by rapid technological change, every student needs access to early, continuous, and ethically grounded computer science education.
How TERC Can Help: Researchers at TERC have been designing innovative projects for years to help learners build essential computer science skills. Explore our latest initiatives in this area here.
Fun STEM Fact!
Around 400 BC, the ancient Greek inventor Archytas of Tarentum built an early "robot" — a wooden pigeon that flew through the air on a steam-powered arm.
PocketLab and TERC are seeking science teachers across the country to pilot a new PocketLab lesson unit and PocketLab sensors in their classrooms. Using PocketLab Thermo, your students will collect temperature and location data in their communities to learn about the Heat Island Effect.
