PCS Edventures! Announces Continued UK Expansion
PCS Edventures! (OTC BB: PCSV) today announced
progress in the UK marketplace with its Learning Labs. PCS Edventures!
deployed an initial pilot program into the UK in 2003 to introduce key
educators and organizations to the curriculum solutions provided by PCS. A
follow-up initiative is now being deployed through a variety of workshops
administered by the UK Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics
Network (SETNET). The PCS BrickLab has been identified as a highly
effective and efficient approach to teaching a variety of technological
literacy concepts using simple and easily managed materials. Introductory
workshops at hundreds of schools are planned for the 2005-2006 UK school
calendar.
Joe Egusquiza, PCS International Sales Manager, said, "We are excited to be
working with some of the top technology teachers and organizations in the
UK and look forward to significant penetration into the UK educational
marketplace."
The Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics Network (SETNET) is a
UK-wide charity that promotes Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM) awareness, especially among young people. SETNET aims
to help ensure there is a flow of well-motivated, high-quality people going
from schools into Science, Technology, Engineering and Math careers and
prepare young people for the technological world they live in.
