Adding to the existing challenges in the app, the company would now make donations to local STEM education for every download.
The Tech Quotient app tests players’ technical knowledge, engineering know-how and pop culture acumen through entertaining tasks and quizzes. It compares the skills and knowledge of players around the world from challenges like word scrambles and crosswords to multiple-choice quizzes and ranking questions.
The new initiative by Mouser Electronics pairs this app with promoting science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. This method is another way of serving aspiring and professional engineers with fascinating content that inspires, engages and challenges their thinking. As the new school year commences, a donation will be made to local STEM education for each app download.
Kevin Hess, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Mouser Electronics, said, “Our Tech Quotient app is fun for players of all levels of engineering knowledge, and we’re proud to announce this new program further bolstering our support of STEM education. We invite developers, engineers and tech enthusiasts from all walks of life to download the app and to challenge their friends, families, and colleagues to find out their own personal Tech Quotient.”
Players receive merit badges for different technical achievements, and the game’s top players are highlighted on a global leaderboard. Combining a broad spectrum of technical expertise with the occasional zany general-knowledge question, Tech Quotient keeps players on their toes and always offers a new, unique experience.
