Incorporating Windows Phone into STEM Curriculum

Later this fall, Microsoft will release the new Windows Phone 7 OS on a variety of sleek new phones.  However, students and institutional developers do not need to wait for the consumer launch to start building apps.  You can build the future today.

What I love about the new mobile economy is that a student living in Slidell, LA or Opelika, AL can build and put in market an app for a Windows Phone that creates a new stream of income without leaving home.  They do not need to move to Redmond, Cupertino, or San Francisco to be career-ready.

Infusing the Windows Phone into STEM curriculum helps us to rethink how cities and towns can continue to grow and not lose to their youth to mega-metros.
