Committee backs resolution urging state to procure 3D game-based chemistry and physics learning platform
Summary
SCR 37 asks the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) to acquire an annual license for a 3D game-based learning platform aligned to chemistry and physical science standards to boost STEM engagement; the committee reported the resolution favorably.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 37, which requests that BESE procure an annual license for a 3D game-based learning platform aligned to chemistry and physical-science standards, was reported favorably by the House Education Committee.
Chairman Edmonds described the platform as a potential “hidden gem” to increase student interest in STEM and provide real-world technology exposure. The sponsor noted that the program aligns with standards and could improve career opportunities for junior-high and high-school students.
Supporters on the committee said the platform could engage students who are already interested in gaming while strengthening chemistry and physical-science instruction. Two organizations filed support cards: Labbe and Plasma Games.
The committee voted to report SCR 37 favorably.
