EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM
Today’s youth must develop an interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to cover tomorrow’s need for talent in a technological and digital society. Given its importance, initiatives are needed that present STEM – and its consequent applications, such as data science – in an appealing, concrete, and engaging manner.
DRIBIA'S SOLUTION
Dribia is a founding member of an educational, non-profit project called “Beepath”. It allows students to conduct experiments involving human mobility through a mobile application that tracks human mobility. Dribia accompanies the analysis of the accumulated data. Various private foundations have so far financed the project.
