PCS And Curious Media Launch Strategic Partnership

Boise, Idaho (PRWEB) April 23, 2014

PCS Edventures!com, established STEM education experts, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with world class interactive agency, Curious Media. With a goal of creating animated, three-dimensional, interactive curriculum for PCS customers, these partners are inspiring excitement in learning by using the concept of education gamification.

Together, PCS and Curious Media bring a wealth of experience and excitement to the education industry. Curious Media has worked with Disney, Warner Brothers, Scholastic, PBS Kids and more to produce award winning interactive experiences that capture the imagination of children and adults alike. PCS has spent 25 years working in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) industry, producing hands-on products that challenge and inspire K-12 students.

Harnessing the idea of combining educational content and digital excitement, these partners will launch 2 new products in 2014: The 3DIC™ and the Cortex™ v5. The 3DIC™ is a 3D interactive curriculum that provides step-by-step instruction for students working with robotic building components. With this software students can view each construction step from any angle in 3D, highlight individual pieces for clarity on component positioning and scrub through an animated demonstration of each step.

The Cortex™ v5 uses unmatched technology that allows students to program and manipulate robots from mobile computing devices including iPads and Android tablets. User-friendly and fun, the programming environment engages imagination, critical thinking skills, and problem solving abilities as students develop advanced programming skills.

The relationship between Curious Media and PCS has come full circle in the past two decades. Randy Jamison, founder of Curious Media, was a PCS student more than 20 years ago and attributes his success with hands-on learning to his time in PCS Learning Labs.

Robert Grover, CEO of PCS Edventures said, “We are pleased to be able to work with a world class interactive agency like Curious Media to develop leading edge learning media. I am personally moved that Randy Jamison, the first PCS student I ever worked with, is leading this development effort.”

Benefits Of Digital Signage

Digital signage gives retailers the advantage and the ability to build brand loyalty and brand awareness.

Digital signage is a powerful tool which can help retailers increase their revenues and also decrease their costs.

Retailers can highlight items which provide them better profitability through high margins. They can also display special offers on specific items and other discount schemes in real time.

Ice Cold Outdoor Digital Signage

Increasingly, there has a lot more installs and interest emanating from ski-resorts and mountain areas in Europe and the United States. The screens are being used for both advertising and information and their use in such areas it is a good example of the unique benefits that outdoor digital signage can offer.

Alpine resorts and other ski locations have begun turning to outdoor digital signage because of the effectiveness in providing information that other communication methods simply can’t match.

The great advantage of using outdoor displays in these sorts of areas is the immediacy that the information can be uploaded and distributed.  Often, in skiing areas emergency information such as dangerous snow and avalanches needs to be relayed as quickly and to effectively as possible and until the advent of outdoor digital signage the only real method of passing this information on was physically, with a steward going up and down the slopes.

Now, emergency information can be uploaded remotely to all slopes and areas and displayed on the outdoor screens, warning and informing everybody that is out. – no other medium can do this as effectively and what-is-more, when the screens are not being used for information, advertising can be run to generate revenue that can eventually pay for the installation of the outdoor displays.

The use of such technology in such locations is only made possible due to the advancement in the protection of LCD and other display types. There are many challenges to installing a screen in a cold and snowy environment. Not only do you have to prevent snow and moisture from damaging the screen but also you have to keep temperatures high enough to prevent the components from freezing.

The sun too, can cause sun-glare and make the screen unreadable on a bright day.

LCD enclosures are an effective method of using an outdoor display in such a location. They keep the screen protected from the elements whilst the internal heaters ensure the screen is kept within operating temperatures. Insulation, anti-reflective glass and other solutions are also fitted to outdoor LCD enclosures in these areas to ensure the screens can continue to operate 24 hours a day no matter what the conditions.
