Purpose and goal
DigiMat - online education in digital math from school to professionals. DigiMat combines math and programming in a unique way. Creativity, motivation and industrial impact are key elements. The program spans all levels, from preschool to top level in academia and professionals. We have during the project received several prizes and awards (IVA 100 list, invited to World Expo and Almedalen, support from KTH at the highest level and targeted funding, etc. ). We have established a major roll-out with the management of a leading municipality in Sweden, USA, and large partner in India.
Expected results and effects
We have succeeded in establishing DigiMat with leading needs owners (leading municipality in Sweden) and internationally in the USA and India, with very good feedback and integration in activities in classes. We have been noticed nationally (IVA 100 list, Almedalen, World Expo), and on KTH from top management with strong support. We are now continuing to expand the establishment with the objective of reaching out throughout Sweden, and major expansion in the USA and India as the first regions internationally.
Planned approach and implementation
The set-up and implementation went largely according to plan, the results exceeded expectations. The pilot tests were delayed due to Corona, but the situation with Corona opened the eyes of many for online teaching, and we now see a huge national and global need that we meet.
