Nine new educational projects from the USA
On March 12, the educational conference SxSWedu ended in the American city of Austin, and now we can summarize it.
SxSWedu is a well-known educational community that meets annually to share new educational technology advances. In addition, it is also a social event, a convenient place for scholarly conversation, where the cream of a progressive, intellectual society is gathered. What benefits did this meeting bring in 2015?

This service became the winner of the SXSWedu's LaunchEDU startup competition. With Zaption, you can turn any video, any video from YouTube (PBS, National Geographic, etc.) into interactive homework: you add questions, text clouds, any notes for any second video. So you increase the effectiveness of self-learning and your motivation to continue to engage further.
The project , the creators of which set an ambitious and noble goal to give primary education to 250 million children from the poorest corners of the world. It is supposed to organize a single and open platform where children can autonomously learn to read, write, keep score. This is planned to be achieved by 2024.
A platform for students who not only study, but also engages in volunteer activities. Now they can lay out their portfolio with their academic success, as well as with their own volunteer achievements. When they asked the creators how their service differs from LinkedIn, they answered that a platform for crowdfunding had been created on GoEnnounce . Students collect donations for their projects or to pay for their studies at a college or university.
This startup makes schoolchildren closer to space. Using microscopic satellites printed on a 3D printer, they can explore outer space. The satellite is equipped with a microprocessor chip that reads environmental conditions in zero gravity.
RoboKind and the Milo robot that makes autistic children a little happier in learning. The robot teacher tells the child stories, reads his movements and teaches him to calm down when the Milo sensors feel the stress of the child.
The technology of the most comfortable learning for the brain: breaking the digital information array into educational blocks with the design of the memorization material as a result of the roadmap. “This is how our brain works,” says one of the founders of Ideaphora , “In this way, we can memorize a lot more information than with ordinary training.”
GlassLab develops educational video games for kids. Schoolchildren do not feel the difference between learning and playing: they are equally interested. The effectiveness of the project is that it creates the most comfortable atmosphere for teaching children. After all, in games they are not afraid to make mistakes. They will pass the level again and again until they reach success. And this is the secret of a better assimilation of knowledge - in the absence of fear of being wrong.
The project will help you quickly and beautifully compile bibliographic lists, as well as automatically generate quotes. With RefMe, you will save a lot of time on the often tedious design of your studies.
Social network-crib - each student can ask for help with his homework or help him himself. Brainly is booming: today there are tasks in mathematics, geography, economics, history, and a number of other disciplines.
