STEM is the Future – But Are We Preparing Students for It? According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, STEM jobs are growing twice as fast as non-STEM careers, with a projected 11.2 million roles on the horizon. 📈 Meanwhile, non-STEM occupations have faced a decline in employment rates, dropping from 83% to 79% between 2019 and 2021. This surge underscores the escalating demand for skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. To address this challenge, Epapa offers a math learning app tailored for students who find math challenging. By providing engaging and empathetic learning experiences, Epapa aims to build confidence and foster a passion for problem-solving, critical thinking, and logic—essential skills for success in STEM careers. Let’s bridge the gap and make STEM opportunities accessible to all. 💪 Join us in this journey and find in Emama the best and brightest AI Tutor! #STEM #EducationMatters #Epapa #MathLearning #FutureOfWork #EdTech

"Can you play that panda dancing again from last year?" A 2nd-grade student (who is not a big fan of mathematics) came to us and excitingly asked for some silly video we made last year. Not everything in life is about math and science. Sometimes it's just time to be silly - and dance. The word goes that we are launching our math app soon 🤘🚀 https://lnkd.in/dw3F_5wn

🎃👻 Happy Halloween from Epapa! 👻🎃 Our spooky friend Puppy here is excited to celebrate Halloween and even more thrilled for what’s around the corner – the launch of our new app which is a bit postponed because of high-quality expectations. At Epapa, we’re conjuring up an educational experience that combines fun, engagement, and powerful learning tools. Get ready to meet our AI-powered math app that’ll bring a new twist to learning, helping students master math with ease and creativity. So as you enjoy all the treats (and maybe a few tricks) this Halloween, remember to stay tuned. Epapa is almost here to make learning an adventure! 🎉📚✨ #HappyHalloween #Halloween2024 #EpapaLaunch #MathApp #EdTech

Our exciting, turbulent, and enriching journey at Epapa 🚀. Hear from our CEO, Manuel Dedio, on how we developed a unique and impactful learning experience for math and science learners! https://lnkd.in/dAciU4Fe

This autumn...

If only I would've started earlier ... This is a sentence our guests tomorrow will not say because they start early thanks to a great initiative. Tomorrow Klaas Wiggers and his students will visit K.I.E.Z. Künstliche Intelligenz Entrepreneurship Zentrum. And we couldn't be more excited 🎉 With the initiative #I_make_AI Klaas and the Willms Highschool in Delmenhorst give students access to AI, meet actors of the ecosystem and teach the young about technology of today and the future. We believe this is a great way to prepare the youngest for the world of tomorrow. Thanks already in advance to Epapa and Prospera, two of our K.I.E.Z. startups who will present their usecase to the students to show and explain what AI does in their domain. Also please meet Daniel Klaperski in the video shown below. As one of our innovation managers for K.I.E.Z. he gives you a few insides about what he is doing. #berlin #ai #artificialintelligence #aistartup #aiaccelerator https://lnkd.in/d9SHsYin

Our CEO Manuel Dedio is launching FreudDreams - his second start-up in the field of neurotechnology/mental health. He is looking for co-founders with backgrounds in -Quantum mechanics, atomic physics -Neuroscience: consciousness, emotions -Artificial intelligence: foundational models -Engineering: optically pumped magnetometers, fMRI, EEG, TMS -Psychoanalysis: neuropsychoanalysis -medicine: psychiatry (psychoanalysts) -biology: molecular biology All the best Manuel on this journey from Epapa ❤️

Epapa launches on 30th of September for iOS and Android! Epapa 🐼, Marcus👩🚀, Stephanie👧 and Puppy 🐶 are going all-in for you to deliver the first real math learning app worldwide.

Musk I Musk's algorithm to bust bureaucracy at his production sites contains five main steps. 1. Question every requirement Before changing anything in your processes, the first step of Musk's algorithm is to create clarity about every requirement that exists today. That clarity can be made by attaching a person—and a name—to every requirement. That is, each requirement should come with the name of the person who made that requirement. Musk: "You should never accept that a requirement came from a department, such as from 'the legal department' or 'the safety department.' You need to know the name of the real person who made that requirement." Once that clarity is achieved—that is, when every requirement has the person's name attached—then you can start questioning whether these requirements make sense. No matter how smart or how 'powerful' that person is. Musk: "Requirements from smart people are the most dangerous because people are less likely to question them. Always do so, even if the requirement came from me. Then make the requirements less dumb." 2. Delete any part of the process you can The second step of Musk's algorithm is all about subtraction—a widely undervalued habit in management. In this case, it is all about deleting any part of the process you can. In fact, it is all about deleting just a bit more than you feel comfortable with. Musk: "You may have to add [parts or processes] back later. In fact, if you do not end up adding back at least 10% of them, then you didn't delete enough." 3. Simplify and optimize Only when you have walked through steps one and two can you start by simplifying and optimizing (parts of) your processes. This particular order of steps protects you from doing unnecessary work—it keeps you from improving (parts of processes) that you do not need in the end. Musk: "A common mistake is to simplify and optimize a part or a process that should not exist." 4. Accelerate cycle time The fourth step of Musk's algorithm is all about speed. It is about finding ways to speed up your bureaucratic processes. "Every process can be speeded up," says Musk. "But only do this after you have followed the first three steps. In the Tesla factory, I mistakenly spent a lot of time accelerating processes that I later realized should have been deleted." 5. Automate The fifth and last step of Musk's algorithm involves automation. Now that you have clarity about your processes and have deleted any unnecessary parts to speed up your bureaucratic processes, it is time to start looking for what you can potentially automate. Musk: "[Automate] comes last. The big mistake in [my factories] was that I began by trying to automate every step. We should have waited until all the requirements had been questioned, parts and processes deleted, and the bugs were shaken out." From a nice article by Joost Minnaar in Corporate Rebels. Original ideas by Walter Isaacson taken from his biography of Elon Musk.
