SenseTrix Educational Services, STEDUS
SenseTrix EDUcational Services (STEDUS) is a system where members can get new kind of tools to aid in education. These tools turn learning to experience based, fun, more memorable and informative and thus speed up learning curve and improve the knowledge transfer. It is global system where new teaching methods can easily be adapted from any other school or institute, even another country. The system is suitable to any level of education for every country and for many subjects.
Example 1: Teacher ahead of class showing example of object on inclined plane. Students see affecting arrows and other extra info on top of real object. As teacher moves the object, arrows and other data change accorddingly in real time.
STEDUS benefits
Imagine being able to really inspire the future generations to learn about the wonders of science. Think about what your classes would be like if you could tap into a knowledge base providing fun and educational experiments adapted to suit your curriculum. Now, ponder the amazement of your students if you could present these experiments in a futuristic manner and let your students really take part. We're not talking about some farfetched dream; we're introducing you to STEDUS.
SenseTrix Educational Services (STEDUS for short) brings a world of science experiments to your classroom utilizing cutting edge technology. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology combining your physical environment with virtual worlds creating immersive and interactive experiences for the students and trainees. AR based STEDUS has the power to turn passive learning into experience-based learning by giving / visualizing important, mostly non-visual information to experience-based training while experimenting.
As a teacher, you know how hard it can be to compete with all the fun stuff available to the kids or students of today. Between videogames and handheld entertainment devices, it can be hard to cut through the fun and flare with the important stuff. Kids are used to being entertained and amused. Well, who said education can't be entertaining and amusing? STEDUS provides try and fail experiments without endangering your students, making "dull" subjects shine.
As a part of the STEDUS community you, your school and your students benefit from having numerous fun and educational experiments to choose from. You can also request experiments you want to provide for your students. Once tailored for you and your use, the rest of the STEDUS community worldwide, will be able to use this experiment for their classes. It's really a win-win situation.
Able to deliver on multiple platforms like personal computers, tablets and smartphones, the need for investing in expensive, hard to use hardware is completely eliminated. We provide a hassle free high-tech experience for you and your students, guaranteed to bring hours of fun, fascinating experience-based education.
Example 2: Student is experimenting with a lab flask and test tube, and from her monitor she sees as hologram-like, floating 3D-molecules, what is the content of flask and tube in molecular-level
Example 2: .. and when she is mixing the contents of the flask and tube, she will see in 3D-animation what happens at the same time in molecular level

STEDUS system and licenses
If you purchase a STEDUS license, typically you will get:
- Ability to order any number of applications for any educational subject for FREE
- Access to all existing STEDUS applications already made for other institutes holding STEDUS license
- You can use these at any computer within your institute (site license)
- Access to discussion forum shared with educators and trainers sharing STEUDS license - for example within physics forum you can then discuss with other physics teachers around the world, who are teaching same subject as you!
- All related instructions and other material
Would you like to have similar applications for each subject within certain course or grade? Such as all the subjects from 2nd year physics book, according to your specific curriculum? Then you can either do it with the license mentioned above, OR you can put up a research project with us, during which those will be created.
Visualize
- Visualize your educational subject
- Turn training to experience based training
- Make learning fun and memorable!
- Show nonvisible issues
- Simulate
On the right you can see few images from testing some of the educational applications.
Some of them were used to teach mathematics to visitors of Heureka, science center at Vantaa, Finland. As a result, many children, even the ones under 10 years, learnt to calculate prime numbers. Some smaller learnt multiplying and youngest ones the simple additions - all before they were even been thought to them in school - or before they even had started school.
"At the Night of Mathematics in December 2012 at Heureka, the Finnish Science Centre, Mr. Seppo Laukkanen from SenseTrix organized a workshop using their pilot applications. This pilot was designed especially for the Night of Mathematics and it gave children of all ages the possibility, for example, to do sums and practice with prime numbers. We had some 2000 visitors at the event, and the feedback on SenseTrix’s workshop was very positive. Children had fun and said they learned a lot. Many came back several times. In science centre terms, the workshop had both drawing in -power and holding-power. Parents clearly appreciated this new way of learning and were themselves interested in using the technology. We also had many teachers among our visitors, and we heard many of them wishing they had this kind of tools at school. People appreciated the physical aspect of the workshop, as well as the social one: they jumped around and talked a lot while counting."
