We believe that every student should have the opportunity to do science. We equip educators to make this dream a reality. Try STEM Wizard – an online management tool that helps run science fairs of any size! STEM Wizard is a web based application created by GlowTouch Technologies, an award-winning technology services firm based in Louisville, KY. Philanthropy, social responsibility, and community outreach are integral to GlowTouch’s philosophy, so our story began with an aspiration to solve an issue. Vidya Ravichandran, President of GlowTouch, is a strong advocate of rigorous education and is committed to boosting the quality of STEM education as a parent and community leader. In 2012, she volunteered as a judge for her daughter’s science fair and began to notice that overseeing a science fair was a long and laborious process. Vidya recognized a great need for a more organized and documented process and offered GlowTouch’s resources to develop an online science fair management tool that would relieve the administrative and organizational burdens of managing a science fair. Our team took on the challenge of creating the application and began to meet with individuals that represented each role within the science fair community. The team consulted with science teachers, fair administrators and volunteers, and attended science education conferences on a regular basis. Within a year, the first school was able to incorporate an early version of STEM Wizard and the administrative time was cut by 75%. Positive reviews of the STEM Wizard application started to spread throughout schools and regional fairs and people began seeking out more information. It quickly became clear that this tool would become vital for anyone running a science fair. Today, STEM Wizard has expanded its platform to serve everyone involved in school, regional or state fairs, leading to Intel ISEF. Our goal is to become the leading provider of science fair management tools worldwide to help advance STEM education.

What recent studies have made increasingly apparent is that the greatest number of high-paying STEM jobs are in the “T” (specifically, computing). | Great article from the NY Times: Where the Jobs Are (and Where They Aren't) by Steve Lohr

The enthusiasm for science education rests on the assumption that these fields are flush with opportunity. Physicists, go digital.
