Science and technology

Teaching Science and Technology, Inc. (TSTI) presents quality short courses and workshops in space systems engineering. Our teaching style is highly interactive with emphasis on learning-by-doing and practical real-world examples and applications. Our courses provide the processes, tools, and information necessary to "jump-start" new-hires to the space business or improve the performance of mid- to senior-level engineers, systems engineers, and technical program managers.

Using technology for learning & teaching science

According to one recent report on human resources for science and technology, Europe needs some 700,000 more researchers if it is to become a world-leading knowledge economy by 2010. The question is – how? IST funded research projects may be able to produce solutions.
Researchers are demonstrating how technologies when applied to science learning can help motivate and engage pupils and promote better take-up of scientific disciplines at school and university. The following eight IST research projects are focusing on technology-enhanced learning methods, in subjects as varied as astronomy, space research, physics, mathematics and the earth sciences.
