Sparticl! – Students needed to beta test the site – Immediately Twin Cities Public Television is creating a STEM education website for 13-15 year olds called Sparticl. Scheduled to launch early fall 2013, it will be an online and mobile destination offering the best content on the web in a game-like environment. Teens can search, learn, share with friends, and earn points and rewards. The content is being curated by experts and includes images, videos, games, hands-on activities, and interviews with scientists. Thirteen to fifteen year olds are needed right now to beta test the site. No interest in STEM subjects is necessary. Teens who are selected to be beta testers can earn up to $50 in gift cards to Amazon.com. Send your students to Sparticl.org to apply. To receive a classroom set of flyers, contact Matt Loth, mloth@tpt.org. Direct general questions to Sylvia Crannell, 651/229-1357, scrannell@tpt.org. http://www.mnmas.org/hs-stem-communicator-awards
