Science and Math Scores on Decline - Stirring Innovative Toy Store to Set Sights on Strengthening Our Future Competitive Edge Xump Science Toys announces solution to American science shortfalls
Press Release Summary: With the U.S. scoring 24th out of 29 developed nations in math, literacy and problem solving it is clear that something needs to be done to revitalize the learning of math and science in both the classroom and at home. Xump Science Toys has a solution! Through the learning of practical science applications while playing with super fun games and toys, it\'s a win-win for everyone!
Press Release Body: Signal Hill, CA - November 20, 2007 -- Innovation Frontier Inc., creator of the award winning multi-channel science toy store Xump.com, has a hand on approach to recapturing America's competitive edge in science and mathematics. "You can\'t pick up a newspaper or magazine these days without reading about global competitiveness, especially in math and science," said U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings. "Currently, our 15-year-olds rank 24th out of 29 developed nations in math, literacy and problem solving," Spellings said. The recent decision of a major science toy retailer to close all of its stores only adds to this problem. However, there is hope-the arrival of Xump toy stores. Xump wants to make learning math and science fun again.
"It is our goal to find top quality and highly educational science-related products that children actually enjoy playing with, and make them readily available in our stores and on our website," said physicist Anton Skorucak, CEO and President of Innovation Frontier Inc. "We are very proud of our newest venture, Xump Science Toys. It's an ultra fun and modern shop where children and parents can get acquainted with our merchandise." Skorucak said that any child who presents a current report card showing at least one "A" or "B" grade in any subject will receive 10% off of their in-store purchases at Xump Stores.
Xump.com, the online version of the brick and mortar stores, is constantly adding new and innovative educational products to its ever-growing inventory. Xump prides itself on prompt shipping; most orders are processed and shipped to the customer on the same day the order is placed. Xump is also particularly proud of the high level of service it provides, the customer service staff offers personal and friendly assistance in all aspects of the ordering process. The newest additions to the Xump family, stores in The Burbank Town Center and The Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, are sure to provide the same great service and innovative learning opportunities.
