In 2014 Redooc, an education content provider dedicated to STEM (Science, Technology , Engineering , Math), will launch online to provide gamified education to curious children and adults, starting from mathematics. Redooc will be innovative: in the content format ( "mathematics as no one has explained it to you" ), in technology (with an...
"Now, what do I do?" Haven't you asked it yourself while playing cards with your friends? You start a game, you think of a rational solution but after few trials, you just let Randomness decide.
