EPIDEMIOLOGY (noun)
ep·i·de·mi·ol·o·gy | \ ˌe-pə-ˌdē-mē-ˈä-lə-jē

Epidemiology is a profession and academic discipline which studies disease occurrence and health outcomes in populations. Epidemiologists determine whether anecdotal “stories” or reports should be turned into data that can be analyzed to understand disease patterns by person, place and time. Epidemiologists use multiple methods to study and understand disease patterns to identify potential risk factors and make recommendations on how to stop disease. (CDC)

Project Based Learning (PBL)

Teaching method in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects (PBLworks).

PBL has been proven to have a positive impact on students’ academic achievement compared with traditional instruction (Science Direct). Using PBL that is hypothesis driven empowers students to own the data collection, analyzation and conclusion of the project. Thinkdemic is providing students with the skills used by real-world professionals.

For Educators

The team behind Thinkdemic knows firsthand how challenging it is to be a teacher in the digital age and aims to make teacher’s lives easier. This STEM educational platform leverages blended learning and offers students a seat at the research table by providing them with the opportunity to investigate public health topics of their interest.

Thinkdemic comes equipped with pre-written, interactive assignments for students. Each lesson captures students attention by telling the story of relevant real-world public health events while also illustrating epidemiology in action. Educators can also choose to create their own curriculum within the online tool with the easy to use interface. Added bonus, the smart bot helps answer students’ questions without the need of teacher intervention.

Thinkdemic aims to help effect the following societal improvements: increased data literacy; increased scientific collaboration in education, across geographic and interdisciplinary lines; and increased scientific literacy and interest across demographics.

For Students

Evidence-based research supports that using project based learning and scientific collaboration to achieve shared learning goals has been shown to increase student achievement, persistence, and attitudes toward science (The American Society for Cell Biology).

Thinkdemic incorporates both of these strategies in the online learning tool. Online group work and engaging subject matter brings fun to the classroom. Each lesson captures students attention by telling the story of real-world public health events while also illustrating epidemiology in action. Just like video games, Thinkdemic uses XP points to encourage student progression through the platform.

About Thinkdemic

Thinkdemic’s mission is to improve classroom outcomes, increase epidemiology awareness and improve overall public health.

With a passion to produce a world-class epidemiology online platform, software developers at Zynect (Ithaca, NY) and epidemiology experts at Temple University (Philadelphia, PA) combined their technology and subject matter expertise to make it happen. Together they developed a tool that would make teachers’ lives easier while increasing interest and persistence in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Public Health (STEM-PH) among students. Thinkdemic is funded by the National Institutes of Health. To learn more about the project and its history click here.
