STEM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, is a national initiative in K-12 education to encourage more young people into career choices they would not normally consider.

Can Bricks without Clay Save the Day?
A group of scientists in Australia, who by the way don’t mind being called brickheads, have developed a brick that replaces the clay with ash from trash incinerators and waste glass that cannot be recycled. Of course, this allows for the efficient disposal of ash and glass waste products without using landfills, but there are […]
FEATURED TESTIMONIAL – “Absolutely what I needed to keep me on track.”
“I live a very busy life with my wife, five children, and a full-time plus part-time job. Two years ago I started trying to prepare for the PE and was overwhelmed after reviewing the MERM.

Tiny Minions Can Make Air into Stone

A Concrete Foundation to Store Electricity
One of the biggest challenges with solar and wind is that they are intermittent sources of energy, requiring storage to make viable for a grid. Likewise, nuclear has trouble cycling down at night and responding to varying loads during the day. Imagine a building being able to store energy for use later. Franz-Josef Ulm at […]
FEATURED TESTIMONIAL – “DTC was 99% of what mattered to my preparation.”
“I passed the PE on my first try. I did the DTC course as well as a couple other prep exams. Those tests were ok for continued practice, but the DTC program was 99% of what mattered to my preparation. I would have been fine with just DTC. Dr. Tom’s program was exceptional considering the […]
