Black Business Month is every month.
How AT&T’s small business customer STEMuli is powering the educational Metaverse.
Sudden question! What do home security systems, potato chips, automatic elevator doors and super soaker water guns have in common?
They are all created by black creators!
For decades, these inventions, and many others, have made life a little easier (and sometimes more fun) for people around the world. They have such an impact on society that it can be hard to imagine life without them. Can you imagine a world without potato chips? no thanks.
Fortunately, black innovation is not an act of the past, clouded by decades of stagnation. Conversely, there are black changemakers making history every day, and this Black Business Month, we’re bringing their contributions into focus.
Take Taylor Shade for example. She is the owner of a Dallas-based small business, STEMuli Studios, and the creator of the first educational metaverse launched in the United States.
(Note: MetaVas is a virtual environment that mimics everyday life. It immerses users in a new world where they can work, play, connect, and in the case of STEMuli – learn.)
In this educational style, students can play a 3D video game that takes them on a digital journey from their grade-level math and science education to their ultimate career goals as doctors, scientists, engineers, and more.
“If a student can see how math and science relate to the development of their dream job, we’ll see more women, minorities, and low-socioeconomic children continue with the education they need to get their dream job,” Taylor said.
