"No matter how you are reading this story, you can thank science. Whether it is the transmission of data over the internet or just the pixels on the screen, a combination of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) is delivering it. The problem is that in Australia, the number of students taking science and mathematics subjects is dwindling - and has been for decades."

Think about PowerPoint presentations, and you will probably think of a never ending series of slides. Of course, presentations have become a vital element for all the businesses or industries, and energy segment is not an exception in it. All household items rely on utilities such as electronics, natural gas, water and more. The presentations are a great way to make people understand the significance of energy saving. However, lack of required templates is a major drawback associated with conventional PowerPoint presentations, and this is the reason why many people or organizations associated with energy sector use a variety of mediums to publish energy wind water geo slides. If you're in need of something different that a conventional PowerPoint presentation, then it is time for you to think about other alternatives that can help you publish your energy wind water geo slides on the go.

Illume does this by offering the world's largest database of syllabi; reading lists; course notes; text and trade books; newspaper, magazine and journal articles; videos; case studies; simulations; problem sets; lecture presentations; and other instructor and student materials.  It has just been introduced and it is completely free for all to use. While it is designed for university instructors, high school teachers looking to assign learning materials beyond textbooks will also find it very useful.
