The Story
The Plot
In the first season of Mastory, we follow Nick Garcia, a research intern and vlogger who has started working for the world-renowned marine biologist Dr. Camarena. He joins Dr. Camarena’s daughter and another intern on a research vessel. During the voyage, all is fine as they are helping a baby whale when suddenly their vessel loses all power. But that is the least of their problems. Dr. Camarena‘s daughter goes missing, and Nick embarks on a sci-fi adventure beyond his wildest dreams. From investigating an abandoned oil facility to possibly finding love.
Solving math challenges becomes an emotional quest
Through the recurring episodes of the series the four main characters become a part of student's lives. Students start to care about their problems and get deeply involved into solving the challenges they face together.
Math becomes a social experience
As students interact with each other and see four different characters dealing with mathematical challenges, they see how divers the strategies can be, how many naturally different ways of thinking exist and that each can contribute to finding a common solution.
»I like that a character was made, and it felt like you were having a conversation with a real person.«
A student
»I think it will make math more interesting and fun at the same time, since there is an engaging story behind it.«
A student
»You are doing work, but it doesn’t feel like you’re doing work. It feels you’re playing the game, and you’re just like solving the challenges.«
A student
»I think that people my age would like it. Instead of doing problems and problems after problem, we’d have something to enjoy.«
A student
»After attending the course, the children have remained interested in programming. When I asked them what topics they are interested in for science class, they said they want to program a robot.«
A teacher
»This approach creates a new form of collectivity and interaction among the students, which is highly interesting for educational research as well.«
