  • Introducing Teaching STEAM As a Practical Educational Framework
    Introducing Teaching STEAM as an Educational Framework in Korea 1 Introducing Teaching STEAM as a Practical Educational Framework for Korea By Georgette Yakman As an educator, one is honored by seeing students excel and go on to do impressive things in their lives and careers for themselves and for the world. Among my greatest accomplishments is using the STEAM framework that I created with a group of secondary school children in an underprivileged school who were previously accustomed to doing as little as possible to get by in their education. All of the students, whom were taught with the STEAM framework during the school day, were offered the opportunity to join an after-school club to extend their education. These children enjoyed this way of teaching so much, that instead of leaving school in the mid-afternoon, as is common in western cultures, they would ask for dinners to be provided for them so that they could study until the late evenings. In American culture, there is no true equivalent of ‘hagwon’ (Byun) and most families cannot afford what few programs are available for after- school enrichment. Based on the reality, that in many countries there seems is an overall increasing stronger global emphasis on providing practical learning, the STEAM framework has been developed as a result of a three-year application to try and improve upon my previous three years of theoretical research and planning (Yakman, 2006). This program was run with money raised with students and all on volunteer time, so that this new framework could have the flexibility to adapt the curriculum for what worked best for the students, the instructor and the community.

  • Go Population Survey
    GO POPULATION SURVEY 2016 FEBRUARY Introduction This survey was designed to acquire a holistic view of worldwide Go populations and demographics. This information shall assist the IGF in making policy decisions in promoting the game in the future. All IGF members (national/territorial associations of Go) were asked to answer the questions using their data or best estimations. Some of the questions, such as “Estimated number of people who are aware of Go”, required a rough estimation based on each association’s experiences and knowledge since there was no data to suggest a specific number. Questions included in the survey were as follows: § Number of players who registered with your association at least once (ever) § Number of members who paid membership fee at least once (ever) § Number of members who paid membership fee at least once in last 3 years § Estimated number of people who know what "Go" is. (When they hear the name, do they know it's a board game, etc.?) § Estimated number of people who know at least basic rules of Go (Spent at least 1 hour in their life time to learn about Go) § Estimated number of people who play Go casually (online, with friends, in clubs, etc.) § Estimated number of people who play in Go tournaments play in Go tournaments at least once a year § Trend of number of new members in the last 5 years § Trend of number of players who paid membership fee in the last 5 years § Trend of number of players who played in tournaments in the last 5 years § Estimated percentage of female players among all Go players § Estimated percentage of players under 18 § Estimated percentage of players of 1 dan or stronger § Estimated percentage of players with profession or major in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) § In which age group do you estimate to have the most players? *All questions were regarding each association’s geographical region including any immigration communities.

February 22, 2016 (Seoul, South Korea) — Following breakthrough research on AlphaGo, the first ​ ​ ​ computer program to beat a professional human Go player, Google DeepMind has announced details of the ultimate challenge to play the legendary Lee Sedol — the top Go player in the world over the past ​ ​ decade. AlphaGo will play Lee Sedol in a five­game challenge match to be held from Wednesday, March 9 to Tuesday, March 15 in Seoul, South Korea. The games will be even (no handicap), with $1 million USD in prize money for the winner. If AlphaGo wins, the prize money will be donated to UNICEF, STEM and Go charities. Regarded as the outstanding grand challenge for artificial intelligence, Go has been viewed as one of ​ ​ the hardest games for computers to master due to its sheer complexity which makes brute­force exhaustive search intractable (for example there are more possible board configurations than the number of atoms in the universe). DeepMind released details of the breakthrough in a paper published in the scientific journal Nature last month. ​ ​ The matches will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, starting at 1pm local time (4am GMT; day ​ ​ before 11pm ET, 8pm PT) on the following days: 1.
