The makers of Fliposcope  love working with teachers and schools—it is where the magic begins!

We would like to build on and share the best parts of the innovative work that teachers acorss the US that is happening in your classroom.

Your research and the IPAL program

IPAL is a simple, common sense, step-by-step teaching process based on loose guidelines.
It is nothing new, but something worth trying..

Inspire - show a student something they haven’t seen or considered before

Plan - A thought process where goals, visualizations and obstacles and sequence are considered

Assemble - The hands-on process of physically executing a plan

Learn - The inevitable outcome after trying to do accomplish something

About the Program and the Organizers

Marvel & Rosen LLC is located in Ithaca NY - near Cornell University and Ithaca College. We are launching our educational program by reaching out to local 3-12 educators in Tompkins County school districts offering teachers resource materials and study involvement. Marvel & Rosen has held headqaurters in Ithaca since 2018 and is a member of the Tomkins County Chamber of Commerce.

This program aims to empower STEM education for grades 3 and up by introducing novel multi-step teaching aids (like Fliposcope).

Our goal is to build curricula and project guides to share and gather enough private funding to place Fliposcope in the hands of two-thousand students. If just one district adopts the Fliposcope - IPAL process, not only will there be great educational outcomes (we just know it!) , we will have paid off the investment in this pilot program.

We’re keeping this program simple

Research planning will be in the hands of researchers. General program data will be shared. We’ll work to provide researchers with access to our Educator team and the ability to reach out to other researchers .

From, inspiring students, to awakening their creativity and problem solving skills… even getting minds to work a little more mathematically, we believe there’s something here worth trying.

Let’s find a pathway to develop multi-step learning experiences that
inspire creativity, stimulate learning, and boost student confidence.

Why do this?

As Artists, the Fliposcope team learned that talent alone doesn’t really take you very far - you need to work just as hard on your “processes" as you do on techniques. We have concerns that learning experiences that normally come from tactile, physical phenomena are getting lost in an education process that increasingly relies on flat-screen displays of video. We want to share these precious and fundamental lessons with generations to come.

Each step of the IPAL process provides students with unique learning opportunities, combining tactile and cognitive reinforcement to foster a deeper understanding of STEM concepts. 

A multi-step creative process can help teachers discover new ignition points for passion for learning that equips students with the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive world.

Get involved

Any teacher or educational researcher involvement is helpful - including any class results sharing and documentation, curricula, and testimonials. Just sign up and we’ll invite your input and help supply your classes with our materials. Hopefully it saves you or your school money, educates more minds, and spreads the best tech. It’s that simple.

With your support, we can launch the IPAL pilot program and provide students with the tools they need to become capable and confident learners.
