From Math's 52's pitch in Kickstarter:
"According to a Raytheon study, 61% of middle school students would rather take out the garbage than do their math homework, and teacher job satisfaction is at its lowest point in over twenty years. Students and teachers are hungry for something new...but not everyone knows what that looks like."
Math52 intention is to teach Math through weekly videos, using concepts that are easy to relate to:
- How far would you have to run to burn off a Big Mac?
- Do people with small feet pay too much for shoes?
- Is it ever a good idea to buy AppleCare...
- ...and what can this tell us about health insurance?
Although the platform used for teaching isn't very different than the other multiple online education alternatives, what's interesting is their way of approaching subjects, which on first hand seems to have behavioral economics related subjects and use a style similar to Steve Levitt and Stephen Dubner, the authors of Freakonomics.
Do you have an idea you could launch using Kickstarter? What are you waiting for?
