Podcast: Collaboration & student app design with Arludo Follow Us: Comments 0 Collaboration & student app design with Arludo About Meet Michael Kasumovic, a highly motivated evolutionary biologist from UNSW who started creating apps for his students so they could understand biology concepts. From this Arludo was born, a team of dedicated people that empower students to understand scientific thinking through gaming. We explore just what is truly important for people to consider when creating apps and as you’ll find, it’s not just about the coding. Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education More Information About the FizzicsEd Podcast About Michel Kasumovic Michael is an Associate Professor at UNSW Sydney. An award-winning evolutionary biologist and science communicator, Michael explores the role the social environment has on how individuals develop and behave. These interests have resulted in him working on a number of different species throughout his career from birds, to spiders, to crickets, and now humans. Using video games to explore human choices and preferences, Michael has shown that although there may be a few hundreds of millions years between the evolution of his earlier subjects and humans, surprisingly, they behave in very similar ways. Michael now uses what he’s learned to create video games through his company Arludo that help teachers and students around the world easily perform science experiments to learn more about the world around them. More about Michael About Arludo Arludo’s mission is to improve scientific thinking for students of all genders, ages, and socioeconomic levels. To do this, Arludo is creating a library of free educational apps and games for mobile devices that help students work together and think critically about different scientific problems. As they use the apps and games, students unknowingly collect scientific data which are displayed in front of the class. This allows teachers to speed up the scientific process and help students explore data, helping them become data literate. They helping teachers turn their students into scientists. More about Arludo With interviews with leading science educators and STEM thought leaders, this science education podcast is about highlighting different ways of teaching kids within and beyond the classroom. It’s not just about educational practice & pedagogy, it’s about inspiring new ideas & challenging conventions of how students can learn about their world!
