Best known for Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, Activision Blizzard has joined a corporate initiative to help improve literacy in science, technology, engineering and math (the STEM fields).
The initiative is called Change the Equation and was launched by President Obama last week. It is a non-profit organization that joins CEOs and teachers and aims to increase STEM education.
"Investing in, and collaborating on STEM education has been a priority for our company," said George Rose, Chief Public Policy Officer at Activision Blizzard. "STEM literacy is a business imperative for our nation's economic excellence, success and citizenship. Our collaboration will not only help students, but will revive our economy, fuel our competitiveness, and ultimately empower our nation."
Activision Blizzard plans on using video games to promote interest in STEM fields.
Activision Blizzard joins founding members Time Warner Cable, Sally Ride Science, Kodak, Intel and Xerox as part of the Change the Equation effort."

The STEM program at my school is just a excuse to waste money on laptops and advanced equipment for a bunch of idiots who couldn't wipe their own fucking ass if they didn't study for it.
They are going to rehash together a bunch of old presidents and make you pay 16 dollars to vote for any of them.
Algebra will be a DLC.

You get all the basics for free.. or atleast that will be the non-profit. Don't forget, everything in a classroom will be guarded with a copyright, and if you have a thought or teach outside it; they will DMCA you and call you a pirate then sue you for a couple million.
