13. Teach Ourselves (TO) is being developed to support middle and high school learners in the STEM fields. Students create and share math and science problems for points. Points convert to individual ( badges , other virtual currencies) and, in the future, group rewards (goods for the school or site). Every problem must have a help item to assist a solver, thereby teaching another and demonstrating understanding. A group mentor or domain expert approves each new problem to ensure its accuracy and quality. or solve create/edit share with group submit to mentor send to reviewer approved published solved denied pts pts pts
