The article describes physics projects created by students as future physics teachers to organize classes on the educational platform of the Children's University. The study was aimed at examining the performance of physics students through physics projects. The advantages of the Labster 3D virtual reality learning environment for motivating students to study physics are also considered. Generally, the results of the study showed an increase in interest among primary school students in STEM education and science. The study involved children from 10 to 12 years old in the amount of 250 schoolchildren in the city of Kokshetau (Kazakhstan). The article used methods such as mixed methods, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews for children. The Likert scale questions allowed the analysis using descriptive statistics. Open-ended questions and data from the interviews were classified using content analysis and analytically interpreted through the theory of the development of cognitive interest in children. Children were provided by links to short 10-minute educational videos posted on Youtube video hosting called FIZMAT KSU While they were working remotely. During distance learning, children used different forms of virtual laboratory work. The results and conclusions of the study revealed the followings: visiting the Children's University increases children's interest in STEM - education and science, as well as the participation of future physics teachers in the activities of the Children's University forms the skills of organizing informal forms of work with children.

Inverse Trigonometric Functions

This article discusses STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education as an initiative from various countries around the world to address young people's lack of interest in careers in Science, Mathematics, Technology and Engineering. Understanding that STEM education must explore two or more of STEM themes, using transdisciplinarity, engaging the student in activities with this approach, we present the studies of an activity proposal integrating Engineering, Technology and Mathematics with the objective of learning Mathematics. In this activity students work with situations involving robotics and, for solution, use robotic arm simulators, developed in GeoGebra software, that simplify the real environment in which the robotic arm manipulates an object positioned in the plane, taking to organize strategies by identifying and applying mathematics, such as trigonometry with right triangle, trigonometric identities, inverse trigonometric functions, to solve the problem. An experiment was conducted to validate the simulators with undergraduate mathematics students from Universidade Luterana do Brasil (ULBRA) in the city of Canoas in Rio Grande do Sul. The results indicate that it is possible to integrate the STEM areas with the developed simulators, being indicated for activities with high school students (10th or 11th grade).

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
