How it works.
The idea is simple. We know that the Internet provides a wealth of information, but sorting through and filtering that information to find quality materials can be an overwhelming task.
That is where we come in. Contact MAST WebConnect with any mathematics or science question, and our coordinators will find the information either by contacting experts in the field, or finding high-quality Internet sites.
Recent inquiries have been:
“I need a unit on Earth Science for Kindergartners.”
“What do snails eat?”
“How is chalk made?”
“How can I incorporate the stock market into 9th grade math?”
Inquiries can be simple or complex. More complex questions will be routed to expert scientists.
MAST WebConnect has a pool of available volunteer mathematics and science experts to help with more difficult inquiries. These include college professors and working scientists within Northern Colorado.
