What is Zome and what are the advantages of including Zome as part of the program?
Zome is a ball-and-stick construction set that is simple enough to be a educational toy for kids, enriching enough to be a learning aid for teachers, and powerful enough to be a research tool for scientists. Zome is used in over 6,000 schools and institutions across the US. It is used in grades 1 through the university level to help teach algebra, scale, number sense, symmetry, proportion, geometry, DNA structure, trigonometry, and more. In classrooms across the globe, teachers are taking advantage of the unique benefits Zome brings to the study of math, art, science, and technology. The high-quality modeling of Zome makes it easier and more enjoyable for students to learn, and increases their capacity for abstract reasoning through tactile and visual feedback. Students understand new concepts better, and find them more interesting.
