Nintendo of America, Inc., The National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) and Nortel LearniT, recently teamed up and created a new, in-school program uses popular characters and themes from Nintendo's popular Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl videogames (on Nintendo DS) to teach elementary and middle school students about science. The effort intends to make the learning of the sciences fun by using imagery students probably already know and maybe love.

Now through December, a variety of printable lesson plans and classroom activities developed by NIA are available to students and teachers at www.masterthescience.org.

"We know through our Nortel LearniT initiatives that technology integration in the classroom makes learning both exciting and engaging," says Greg Farmer, VP, Nortel Government and Community Relations. "As an organization that believes technology can enable opportunity, we are proud to be associated with this project."
