science and math (STEM, but not really) forum!

yzyzyz

I recently figured out that there isn't a place on the scratch forums to talk about science and math in.
And we need to have one. I feel that a place to talk about science and math in could be very useful to a lot of scratchers.
For everyone saying “use advanced topics!”, AT is too advanced. It also don't really helps with some topics in science and math.
so, who supports?

Actually, I think I might enjoy this forum! Support!

I don't think that'll be useful to a lot of users… But I'm sure some people would use it.

That would be a very interesting subforum…

Maybe it could be changed to ‘STEM’ (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)

I think that stem is also good!

no support, we could just use the “things I'm reading and Playing” forum.

“Things I'm Reading And Playing” are just forums where you talk about literature such as novels/films.

I don't see how subjects could be related to this.

That's for INSIDE Scratch. This is for OUTSIDE Scratch.

Also, Support. At least it wasn't like that Misc. Forum that received lots of flame wars.

I don’t do maths… but still, support!

That’s completely different!

jeez, sorry, no need to get upset

I think the “Things I'm Making and Creating” forum is where all this stuff goes. I know there's an Advanced Math topic in there, and the other parts of STEM should easily fit too.

I already told you people, how can a forum that mention things people create and people share about literature have to do with subjects?

it's not all about literature, its about talking about things that aren't Scratch related

This.

Also, a couple links:
Science topic
Math topic
They're fairly small but they're still viable. You could even create a new STEM topic if they don't suit you.

Hmmmmmmm…
I like this, but couldn't we just use the Making and Creating forum?

I kind of feel like the entire Interests Beyond Scratch forum collection should be merged together to anything outside of Scratch.

There's plenty of cross-forum topics that end up being put in one.

As with an individual topic for math/school related subjects, perhaps the Interests Beyond Scratch forum folder/collection can be like this:

Interests Beyond Scratch
Things I'm Doing For Fun (Things I'm Making and Creating + Things I Am Reading and Playing)
Things I'm Studying (This Suggestion)

Not really a big fan of that type of reorganization, as “Things I'm Studying” is bleedingly close to being seen as “Homework Help Forum Section”. The “Interests Beyond Scratch” forum, if reorganized and/or rewritten, should make it clear that the subject is something you're interested in.

Yeah. We’re kinda going off-topic here.

So let's get back to the topic!
