Machinam
Machinam is developing an app-based resource for high school maths classes. The product tackles the age old question, 'Why do we need to learn this?' by framing maths problems in a way that allows students' to connect what they are learning in class to their own life and future careers. The digital app brings together problem-based learning, real life context and digital technology to provide an alternative to traditional high school maths textbooks that is engaging and relevant to students' interests, and is mapped to the Australian Curriculum. The Australian company Machinam Pty Ltd, was founded in 2013 by engineers Claire Bennett, Felicity Furey (Briody) and Jillian Kenny. For more information, visit www.machinam.com.
