Hewlett Packard (HP) started an initiative in 2010
to assist with the core science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learnings
that occur throughout the world. Their
goal is to engage students to assist them with using computers to solve major social
issues by improving their problem-solving capabilities. HP is doing great works through spreading
this initiative to encourage students’ exploration of current knowledge and
creating their own creative ideas to be applied to real world issues. Collaboration with other partners in Egypt,
Africa, India provide motivated students with the opportunity to make a better
future for themselves by enhancing their analytic and technical skills to build
upon their personal knowledge preparing them for college-level learning
experiences. Students learn about cloud computing
concepts, particularly the virtualization aspect, and how cloud technology can
be used to solve greater world issues. By connecting with similar STEM learning
programs HP has been able to begin the process of bridging the gap between
low-income students by giving them the ability to use webcams to perform
video-conferencing, participate in webinars, and become connected to other
online learners around the world (Hewlett Packard, 2010).
