Texas Instruments STEM Behind Hollywood Update
Back the beginning of the school year, I reported on a new Texas Instruments initiative to create engaging classroom materials for the TI-Nspire. These modules brought out the mathematics and science behind popular Hollywood movies themes. TI calls the initiative “STEM Behind Hollywood.” Since I did the initial post about the first STEM Behind Hollywood module on Zombies, Texas Instruments has rolled out a couple of more modules. The first was “Earth Impact,” a scenario where students examine have to examine how scientists will attempt to change the trajectory of an asteroid on a collision course with earth.
