Title: STEM Programs Help On Line 10 Minute Concepts Videos
Post by: RADIOMAN015 on March 12, 2012, 12:57:14 AM
CBS 6O Minutes had a segment this evening on the individual who founded the site below and it is backed by the Gates Foundation.   Anyways there's a lot of video presentation on math & some science concepts.  What's interesting is the videos are only about 10 minutes long.  All materials are free for all to view.

See: http://www.khanacademy.org/ (http://www.khanacademy.org/)

Pretty good idea --- try a few for a review or to learn some new concepts.   Perhaps the staff at National Hq CAP could contribute lessons for aerospace education.

^The above site is awesome! My sister and I are home schooled, and we use this site for all of our math studies and a good deal of our science curriculum. They've also made dozens of videos for ACT/SAT prep, and a nice series on basic computer programming. The history/social studies library is a work in progress, but they're adding new videos all the time.
