The SEE Box: Creating new learning opportunities across STEM\ud disciplines in developing countries

Abstract

The Internet is loaded with high quality resources that can make a difference to how students develop\ud conceptual connections across STEM disciplines. However, connectivity is a major challenge for many users\ud throughout the world. In many cases even after connectivity is achieved, the quality of the connection dictates\ud how the technology is used. Connectivity in developing countries is even more significant as a problem. This\ud paper specifically focuses on the SEE Box as a tool for addressing the problem of connectivity and the progress\ud that has been made. The SEE Box device has evolved from the Rachel Pi, which is an offline resources library.\ud The SEE Box has almost 35 gigabytes of resources that are suitable for STEM and other disciplines. The\ud ongoing development of the SEE Box has primarily been driven by the engagement of staff and students from an\ud Australian university in outreach service learning projects in Fijian and Malaysian schools
