The campaign ends but the dream lives on...

Dear friends, thank you so much for supporting our dream to help every child fall in love with Math. We closed our Indiegogo campaign a few days back which has started off many meaningful conversations with teachers, parents and fellow Ed-Tech entreprenerus that give us motivation to keep building new worlds for our children to explore.

As a next step we are incubating Immerz at Vishwajyot High School. We are going to be running the Math Program for all sections of Grade 6th and 7th this year by creating modules on Immerz that encourage Learning by Discovery and provide lots of opportunities for team based tournaments. Keep looking out for more details on this on our social media handles.

Thanks again for dreaming this dream with us and we will keep you posted with our updates.

New addition to our galaxy of !

11 yr old Sakina from Vishwajyot High School started using the Immerz Math game on the encouragement of her teacher. She struggles with Math often and had started thinking of herself as somebody who would never do well in Math (anybody nodding their head along here?)
Well that was until she started playing Immerz! She progressed on a steady pace and reached out to her Math Coach often. No wonder she is ahead of most of her classmates now...
“I struggle with Math at school but I really get it when I play Immerz... I never thought I would be so much ahead of my classmates and be able to solve word problems while they are still learning to calculate the value of X...”

Architect, Photographer and Cyclist Gaurav gets to apply everyday in his work! Isn’t that exciting!

‘Trigonometry helped me understand the relationships between the angles and edges of triangles. In fact it gives me a language with which to translate my ideas into reality.

For example as an architect designing an auditorium I want to ensure that each member of the audience can see the performance clearly. To do this I use the equations of sin, cosine and tangent. As you can see each member can now directly view the stage. This wouldn’t have been possible without the magic of math’

Most of us must have wondered at one time or the other why we learnt all the Math that we did at school. A conversation about this with grade 8 students at Vishwajyot High School has prompted us to start a new series, where we will be exploring how in their professional and personal lives.
Today we’re profiling , an Industrial Design at Crompton Greaves. Khushboo studied Design at university, a profession normally thought of as being arty and decidedly anti-math. Here’s what she says about using Math in her life:
I loved maths in school -and I enjoyed word problems the most. It was more like you first decipher the code and then form the equation you need to solve. Geometry was a lot of fun too!

In fact unpacking a 3D solid into 2D planes and solving for surface areas and volumes is something i do everyday as an Industrial Designer. For eg, I am working on something where I need printed graphics on part of the bezels, the cost of printing is calculated on the basis of surface area of bezel + wastage around the shape. This will tell me how much more I’ll need to pay for this particular design.

Our journey began in 2002 with the establishing of Vishwajyot High School. We had an audacious dream - a dream to change the world by unlocking each child's learning potential.

We are now asking you to participate in this dream, by supporting us as we change the way Math is taught throughout the world through Immerz Math. Indiegogo campaign live on http://ow.ly/uA9D50knYwf

At Immerz we are constantly thinking of new ideas to for learner’s across the world.

Here’s an idea for - what if you had to calculate the cost of painting a building but were not given the building’s height? While playing Immerz, you would measure the building’s shadow, use Trig to calculate the height, then calculate the surface area and finally the cost of painting it. Voila!

At Immerz Math we are trying to by creating simulations of real-life situations where Math concepts are used. We conducted the first such Immerzathon a month back at Vishwajyot High School, Mumbai, where 10 teams of sellers competed with each other in a 'commodity market' to sell precious gems to the evil king of Jabran (the fictional Algebra planet in the Immerz Universe)

Each team had to solve the linear equation which represented the Price Curve of this market, and decide how many gems to sell to the king in each round. The King would determine the price he was paying for the gems based on the supply in each round.

This was a great way for participants to actively experience how a seemingly abstract concept like linear equations is used in real life.

Help us create many more such Immerzathons for different Math concepts by supporting our soon-to-be-launched Indiegogo campaign. Sign up on our page now - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/immerz-help-your-child-fall-in-love-with-math/coming_soon)

- During our student workshops there was a lot of discussion around how learning works only when it is done with friends, in a social group. One of our participants, Sanmay, asked for a multiplayer environment where he can play with and against his friends, where the rich social interaction that takes place in a classroom or in a playground can be replicated digitally. So we started building just that!

Jabran is the first of many Math worlds that we plan to build for Immerz Math. Players can walk around, discover vaults filled with precious gems that will only open on solving math puzzles, and challenge other online players to real time duels.

Help us expand our universe with more and different Math worlds! Support our soon-to-be launched Indiegogo campaign by signing up on the page - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/immerz-help-your-child-fall-in-love-with-math/coming_soon
