The Relationship between Live Chemistry Show Characteristics and Their Effect on Science Museum Visitors’ Attitude to Chemistry

Accessible, high-quality science education is central to positively shaping public opinion of science. Public perceptions and understandings of chemistry have often been associated with negative attitudes, misconceptions about the nature of chemicals, and sometimes misdirected anxieties about their effects on humans. These negative images are compounded by the fact that chemistry is under represented in […]

Towards the commercialization of a robotics-assisted rehabilitation platform for stroke therapy of upper limb

Stroke is the primary cause of physical disability resulting in motor dysfunction. Rehabilitation robots are employed to automate repetitive goal-oriented tasks, and strengthen neural pathways. The portable robot built by our team in collaboration with Quanser can be programmed to aid therapists, and assist upper-limb movements to deliver rehabilitation. In this project, various limitations that […]

Mathematics Mapping project

To support the development of a developers’ toolkit for educational digital applications that use mathematics content, Erudite Science is creating a library of mathematics content and functions. Because mathematics is such a vast field, typical application functions such as search, manipulation, and inference, frequently return irrelevant results. The search process can be facilitated through the […]
