Activision Blizzard Joins STEM Change the Equation

By james_fudge

Activision Blizzard has signed on to help President Obama's STEM initiative, which encourages literacy in science, technology, engineering and math. Activision Blizzard will lend support to the Change the Equation, a non-profit organization that brings together CEOs and teachers with the goal of increasing awareness and interest in STEM education.

Naturally, Activision Blizzard plans on using video games to promote interest in STEM fields.

"Investing in, and collaborating on STEM education has been a priority for our company," said George Rose, Chief Public Policy Officer at Activision Blizzard. "STEM literacy is a business imperative for our nation's economic excellence, success and citizenship. Our collaboration will not only help students, but will revive our economy, fuel our competitiveness, and ultimately empower our nation."

Activision Blizzard joins Time Warner Cable, Sally Ride Science, Kodak, Intel and Xerox as part of the Change the Equation effort.
