INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Governor Mitch Daniels promoted a new way to teach math,
science, and other subjects in high school on Monday.
The new tech school model teaches learning through the
creation of student projects linked to economic development.
The
New Technology Foundation from Napa, California
established the model and the
KnowledgeWorks
Foundation in Cincinnati awarded a $10 million grant in the
governor's office. Some of that money will go to Indiana schools.
"I like to see us become the state of new technology
education, math and science based, technology based, as they say,
learning, focused on our economic future," said Gov. Daniels.
Six Indiana high schools currently use the new tech program,
four more will begin in the fall.
