(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 28, 2001 ) CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--Hot New Pop Sensation Goes "Back-to-School" with an Exclusive Concert to Showcase the Power of New Technology on Award-Winning Free Educational Web Site
MathSoft Engineering & Education, Inc., today hosts an exciting, free end-of-summer party with new pop sensation Dream Street to showcase the Web's new language of interactive math and science on StudyWorks!(R) Online. In partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Education, "Back-to-School on Dream Street with StudyWorks! Online" serves as a fun educational event to recognize the importance of math and science education. Edel/UEG recording artists Dream Street will be performing their hit single "It Happens Every Time," as well as meeting fans and providing a demonstration of interactive math and science learning online.
The "Back-to-School on Dream Street with StudyWorks! Online" event is free and open to the general public today, August 23 at the Square One Mall, Saugus, Mass., from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. The special back-to-school event also includes a public presentation of a proclamation from Acting Massachusetts Governor Jane Swift, declaring August 23, 2001 "Back-to-School on Dream Street with StudyWorks! Online Day" in Massachusetts.
The free online learning resource, www.studyworksonline.com, will showcase the power of the Web's new language of interactive math and science. Through this exciting technology--being demonstrated online for the first time--students, parents and teachers are able to interact with all levels of mathematical and scientific work to better understand and master critical learning skills. The language brings mathematics to life, so that users can interact with it, solving math equations in real time, step-by-step to better understand concepts.
Massachusetts Commissioner of Education David Driscoll, who strives to continually improve the math and science knowledge of Massachusetts' students through standardized testing, will attend the educational event. "An event such as this gives everyone the opportunity to recognize that education can be entertaining and also a learning experience," said Driscoll. "Dream Street and StudyWorks is an example of how new developments in technology, an exciting atmosphere and a focus on mathematics and science, can all come together outside the classroom to enhance learning. As we can see by this partnership, learning can come alive!"
"As teenagers in public high school and musicians ourselves, we're familiar with how hard it is to learn math and science. We also know how important it is to our everyday life," said Jesse McCartney of Dream Street, and star of ABC's All My Children. "It's important for teens everywhere to know they are not alone learning these tough subjects and StudyWorks! Online is a cool Web site that helps all teens get through the hard spots. There are awesome games, homework help and other fun ways to learn. Dream Street is excited to go back to school with StudyWorks! Online!"
"The success of StudyWorks! Online encouraged us to expand the site and include an introduction to this new technology that helps our visitors better learn math and science," said Chris Randles, CEO of MathSoft Engineering & Education, Inc. "By delivering a new way to interact with and understand the concepts behind math and science, we are opening new doors in the world of e-learning for middle and high school students, parents and teachers."
StudyWorks! Online and its partners expect thousands of teens and parents to attend this educational and entertainment event, promoted by Boston's KISS 108 FM and The Boston Herald. Prior to the event, an exclusive group of 40 tickets were given away by KISS 108.com and StudyWorks! Online to attend a pre-show VIP party. Catered and hosted at Houlihan's Restaurant in the Square One Mall in Saugus, fans will be given the opportunity to meet Dream Street and have photographs taken and autographs signed. Additionally, Dream Street will participate in an interactive demonstration illustrating the new language of interactive math and science.
The hot chart-climbing band Dream Street recently released their first, self-titled CD, which just went gold on Billboard's top 200 albums. Together, the teenagers boast an impressive set of credits ranging from song to stage, with members currently appearing on national television and in Broadway productions. All five teens attend New York public high school and meet the challenges of learning math and science every day.
