The four major disciplines propelling our students and our society forward; all about education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
1978
Anoosh Arta 1978 was indeed not only one of the darkest years in Iran’s history, but a traumatic year in my childhood. The king of Iran left and the murderous Khomeini cast its gloomy wings all over Iran. Since then, Iran has become soulless and dark. I can feel this somber feeling in the air every time I travel there to visit my family. Despite all the oppression and suffocation on behalf of the Islamic regime, Iranian people have tried so hard to keep their vibes alive… but the gloomy air will not leave until after the tyrannic Islamic regime crashes.

Why Data science trends in 2020
Data science is not a single term. It covers a wide range of topics and networks. B. Internet of Things, deep learning, AI, etc. Simply put, data science counts as an overall combination of data inference, computational algorithms, analytics, and technologies that help solve a variety of business problems. It also provides enterprises with advanced tools and technologies that can automate complex business processes related to raw data extraction, analysis, and presentation. Engineering and data generation are taking place at a very fast pace, so it is important to be aware of the latest and future trends in data science.

Fake Face Image Classification
Don't trust everything you see; sometimes, fake makes more impact than real. Introduction We believe what we see, right? But with the advancement of science and technology, we have come to know a lot of new things which we as regular people don't see, like exoplanets, quarks, etc.(except for the scientists, though), but they exist. Let me ask you a question:

ENTERING ROBOTICS
IT IS SUMMER. School is out again, and at least one grandchild is at my house. COVID has tired itself out and we are no longer locked in or locked down. The child we had so much success (?) with three years ago under mandatory pressure is that much older and a different beast. Thinking harder and more elevated for their sake, a grandparent has to accommodate the scene. Outside of ROBLOX and MINECRAFTING entertainment could easily fall to a fail. ENTER ROBOTICS.

Social Media
People generate stuff, share it, bookmark it, and network at a rapid rate on social media, which has grown as a category of online conversation. On the academic side, Facebook, MySpace, Digg, Twitter, and JISC listservs are examples. Social media is rapidly transforming public debate in society and defining trends and agendas in themes ranging from the environment and politics to technology and the entertainment sector, thanks to its simplicity of use, speed, and reach. We opted to explore social media's ability to anticipate real-world outcomes since it might be viewed as a type of collective knowledge. Surprisingly, we observed that a community's chatter may be leveraged to create quantitative predictions that exceed those made using artificial markets. These information markets usually involve the trading of state-contingent assets, and they are usually more accurate than other strategies for obtaining diffuse information, such as surveys and opinion polls, if they are large enough and well organized. Prices in these marketplaces, in particular, have been found to exhibit substantial correlates with observed outcome frequencies, making them good predictors of future outcomes. The immensity and high variability of information that spreads via huge user groups on social media give an intriguing potential for capturing that data into a form that allows for detailed predictions about specific events without market mechanisms. Models can also be built to aggregate the collective population's opinions and get helpful insights into their behavior, as well as predict future trends. Furthermore, getting information on how people talk about specific products can be beneficial for creating marketing and advertising campaigns. A study like this is the subject of this publication. We look at the task of estimating box-office sales for movies using Twitter buzz, which is one of the Internet's fastest-growing social networks. Twitter 1, a microblogging platform, has seen a surge in popularity in recent months, resulting in a massive user base of several tens of millions of people who actively participate in content creation and dissemination. We chose movies as the subject of this study for two reasons.

The Role of Video Games in Education
A video game is a computer game designed to be played by one or more players. It has been argued that video games have the potential to offer unique benefits in children’s education. There are lots of benefits for children who play video games, including a heightened sense of creativity, focus on problem-solving skills and improved mental health. Some people even argue that video games can be used to teach students about STEM subjects, such as coding or robotics.

Is Mathematics Useful?
Mathematics was - and still is - the most difficult subject for students, compared to other subjects, and it's not just word of mouth. Surveys show that at least 89% of parents around the world say that math is the hardest subject they teach their children. Indeed, you rarely come across a student who loves mathematics. Today, a common question revolves in the minds of university graduates, after all the trouble of understanding and memorizing, the sequences and the laws of integration and differentiation, and the algorithms of division and equilateral triangles... What did we gain from studying mathematics? Why not stop at addition, subtraction, division and multiplication? The four basic operations .. Have our years of mathematics been wasted and we did not use them? So why are we taught all that math in schools?

The Secret to Successful Science Education
Science is one of the greatest innovations of humankind. It will become even more of an imperative discipline to our species’ sustainable continuation in the coming decades. With near-inevitable carbon emission-induced chaos, overpopulation, food shortages, and more, our future workforce needs to exponentially increase our rate of discovery and innovation to counteract these disasters.

Why does copper spontaneously demagnetize?
Really in depth explanation about how nuclear physics in terms of fusion controls the magnetic properties of elements such as copper and iron. I just made this up from my mind today, but if you read carefully you'll understand it is actually for sure correct. I don't even know if this information exists elsewhere, but it is correct for sure. Did I find something first? Probably not. Yeah.... but still super cool. I made this myself. Best thing I've done in a while.
