Why U
Why U, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational organization funded by the Goldman Charitable Foundation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Why U Home Page )〕 Why U is dedicated to exploration through the use of digital media, of new education paradigms for the STEM subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Why U’s goal is to remove barriers to learning in the STEM subjects, and increase the public’s depth of knowledge of STEM.〔
Why U develops and provides world-wide access to free animated videos which teach fundamental concepts in math and science in an entertaining format. Why U animated videos are designed to develop conceptual knowledge rather than procedural skill, i.e., instill in the viewer an understanding of the underlying concepts of math and science rather than promoting the memorization of problem solving procedures. The prime focus is to clearly and efficiently explain the conceptual framework at the heart of mathematical and scientific subjects in a way which engages the viewer and holds their interest. Concepts are presented in the context of a dramatic and humorous setting using animated graphics designed to communicate complex ideas in an enjoyable and exciting way. As such, Why U videos are often used as collateral material in formal learning environments around the world.
Traditionally, STEM subjects have been taught in grade school and at the university level using text books in a highly structured classroom setting. However, several trends have created new possibilities for teaching STEM subjects more efficiently in both formal and informal learning settings. These trends include the ability to create high-quality 2-D and 3-D digital animation at a low cost, and the ability to reach large audiences with potential interest in STEM via streaming video over the internet. Why U utilizes these technologies to overcome the “barrier of entry” often experienced by non-technical viewers when attempting to learn highly-technical subjects.
