Indiana’s Wawasee Community School Corporation Strengthens Science Instruction Through New Collaboration with EdTech Leader

Charlotte, NC (Thursday, May 8, 2025)—IԻ徱Բ’s&Բ; today announced a new collaboration with Ǹ that brings to the district engaging, new, standards-aligned digital resources that will strengthen science instruction in grades 6-8. Ǹ is the creator of essential K-12 learning solutions used in classrooms around the world.  

Located in rural north-central Indiana and serving the communities of Milford, North Webster, and Syracuse, Wawasee Community School Corporation’s (WCSC) team of more than 650 professionals is dedicated to supporting the education of the district’s approximately 2,560 students. Guided by the vison to develop individuals who are confident, well-rounded citizens, WCSC’s talented educators partner with students, families, and communities to meet the needs of all learners and empower them to reach their highest potential. 

To continue meeting the district’s goal of providing all students a high-quality science education that prepares them for success beyond the classroom, district leaders sought a standards-aligned, classroom-tested suite of digital resources that would aid teachers in creating modern digital learning environments that facilitate an interest in the sciences. Following a rigorous review of available solutions, WCSC selected: 

  • Ǹ Experience. The essential companion for engaged classrooms, Ǹ Experience is a supplemental cross-curricular digital resource that inspires teachers and motivates students. Designed expressly for K-12 schools, Experience delivers all-in-one, ready-to-teach lessons and strategies, exciting career exploration resources, standards-aligned content, and flexible tools for differentiation and assessment. Recently, Ǹ announced a host of to Ǹ Experience that include new tools and resources, AI technology, career explorations, and more. 
  • Ǹ Science Techbooks. The Ǹ Science Techbook series is a comprehensive, research-backed science solution for grades K-12. Used in classrooms across the United States, the Science Techbooks drive engagement with exclusive phenomena and interactive content. The Science Techbooks that will be used in WCSC’s classrooms are aligned to Indiana state standards and feature virtual and hands-on investigations, STEM activities, and instructional supports that enhance the delivery of impactful, blended instruction. The Science Techbooks also include standards connections and differentiation activities that inform instructional planning and guide three-dimensional learning. Available with the Science Techbooks are coordinated teacher guides offering unit, concept, and lesson overviews, accompanying print resources, and pre-packaged kits that make classroom activities easy to implement.   

Ǹ’s Science Techbook is certified as meeting the rigorous, evidence-based ESSA Tier III standards as set forth in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Multiple studies show that regular use of Ǹ Science Techbook in the classroom has many positive academic results for educators and students across a variety of districts and populations in the United States.

“Wawasee Community School Corporation’s educators endeavor to provide all students instructional experiences that will help them prepare for life beyond graduation,” said Dr. Shelly Wilfong, WCSC Assistant Superintendent. “The introduction of Ǹ’s science resources into our science curriculum creates even more opportunities for students to engage with our science lessons, and we look forward to integrating these resources into classroom activities.”  

Ǹ Experience and the Science Techbook complement the use of Mystery Science by Ǹ, which is already used in WCSC’s elementary school classrooms. A unique, standards-aligned science curriculum for grades K-5 designed to help students stay curious, Mystery Science includes engaging, open-and-go lessons with step-by-step, hands-on activities that explore scientific phenomena using common classroom items. &Բ;

WCSC educators using Ǹ solutions will receive dedicated professional development  from Ǹ’s team of professional learning experts. These learning opportunities for teachers help schools recognize the full return on their edtech investment. Through Ǹ’s interactive professional development sessions, participants will learn best practices for integrating their new digital resources into instruction. Effective professional learning increases student engagement and supports the continued academic development of all students.   &Բ;

In addition, all educators using Ǹ’s digital resources have access to the Discovery Educator Network.
