Abstract:This education development project focused on creating entertainingly engaging (entergaging), informative, and STEM-promoting "plug-and-play" curriculum learning modules for K-8 educators, using maritime transportation and infrastructure related topics to teach STEM concepts. Coupling music memory, fun STEM theories, and innovative experiential demonstrations into entertaining video learning modules, the project focused on opening the door for student excitement in learning of science topics and helping develop a new virtual learning paradigm that: 1) excites curiosity, 2) expands alternative cognitive processes, and 3) promotes future engagement in the STEM areas.
The total size of the zip file is 1.5 GB. The .mp4 file extension is used mainly for the MPEG-4 multimedia file format. These .mp4 files are in a container format defined in the Systems Part of the MPEG-4 standard (ISO 14496-1). The .mp4 files support all kinds of multimedia content (multiple audio streams, video streams, subtitle streams, pictures) and advanced content (called "Rich Media" or "BIFS") like 2D and 3D graphics, user interactivity, DVD-like menus. The MP4 file format is also streamable (for more information on .mp4 files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/mp4-file-extension). The .docx file is a Microsoft Word file, which can be opened with Word and other free word processor programs, such as Kingsoft Writer, OpenOffice Writer, Apache OpenOffice, and ONLYOFFICE. A .aiff file is a high-quality audio file developed by Apple. These files can be played using most standard audio and visual software, such as Windows Media Player or VLC Media Player (for more information on .aiff files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/aiff-file-extension).
