Marketing 101 – STEMing UP Weekly Write Up 01

Hello! My name is Dhwani, and I’m going to be writing weekly wrap-up for this year’s STEMing UP program. Firstly, who am I? A fifteen year old girl, who’s passionate about technology and all STEM fields! I am super excited to be a part of the STEMing UP 2018 cohort.

You can expect these write ups every week (yay), covering what we have talked about at each meeting, as well as meeting some of the other smart young women in the program doing amazing things.

This past week, we discussed marketing and the session was held at the beautiful Citrix office. 

STEMing UP 2018 cohort along with Doina, Issa, Shvetha and Meg at the Citrix office!

Let’s start off with the basics- what is marketing? It’s defined as the connection between the company and its customers, and marketing is customer centric. It filters the information between the organization and its customers.

Is the online learning strategy the best solution to improve math scores in Ontario students?

Post originally published on Huffington Post.

With the recent news release, that Ontario students are doing poorly at math, it is imperative to focus on this issue now as it affects not only our current students and schools but our economy in the long run.

While STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) focused professions are the future of our economy they require a high level of math knowledge. For example, to enter an engineering field one must have a high understanding of math and, if not learned early it may be a loss that the next generation will have to deal with when losing opportunities in the future.

While the idea of having a one hour blocked time for math learning in classrooms is a great solution, I am personally not convinced when it comes to the online learning strategy. It is very interesting to see how many kids and their parents will actually have access to online resources considering that, although we live in one of the best nations in the world, many people do not have a computer and Internet access at home.
