Mountain Vector Energy launches Cufflink Quizzes, an interactive STEM tool that lets students explore real-time energy, water, and air quality data from their own schools. By using the same platform as facilities teams, students gain hands-on experience with data literacy, resource management, and future STEM careers.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., April 6, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Mountain Vector Energy is excited to announce Cufflink Quizzes, a new interactive STEM experience that allows students to engage directly with their schools’ energy, water, air quality, and renewable system performance.

“By increasing accessibility to modern software tools, we hope to inspire careers in energy and water management. This is a new path to engage our future plumbers, electricians, building automation specialists, and HVAC technicians.”

For the first time, students can step into the role of an energy manager, using the same platform their facilities directors rely on—filtering graphs, running reports, and answering quiz questions that build data literacy and critical thinking skills. By making energy data accessible, Cufflink Quizzes help students connect classroom learning to real-world STEM applications and future career paths.

From Data to Discovery

With real-time data at their fingertips, students hone critical thinking skills, uncover insights, and experience the power of data-driven decision-making—just like STEM professionals. As they analyze meaningful data, they see firsthand how energy optimization and strategic choices directly impact their schools’ learning environments.

✔ Ready-to-Go Learning – Designed to assist busy teachers, the quizzes function as stand-alone assignments in a web-based platform, allowing easy access in the classroom with no extra prep required. Quizzes are available for elementary, middle school, high school, and college-level students.

✔ Hands-On STEM Experience – Students interact with live data, analyzing energy trends and seeing firsthand how energy management works in their own school.

✔ Appreciation for School Leadership – Students gain insight into the critical roles of facilities directors and school district leaders, learning how resource management affects their learning experience.

✔ Career Exploration – Students discover how professionals in data science, engineering, licensed trades, and operations drive meaningful change. By interacting with their schools’ data, they gain insight into the impact of STEM careers and leadership roles, inspiring them to explore future pathways in these fields.

By gaining a deeper understanding of resource management, students will begin to see the world around them in a new way—recognizing the impact of STEM in their daily lives.

“With Cufflink Quizzes, we’re giving students an inside look at how data drives outcome-based learning in the real world,” says Steve Kiziuk, CEO of Mountain Vector Energy. “By increasing accessibility to modern software tools, we hope to inspire careers in energy and water management. This is a new path to engage our future plumbers, electricians, building automation specialists, and HVAC technicians.”

Supporting STEM Education

For over a decade, Mountain Vector Energy has been dedicated to advancing STEM education by empowering students to become data-driven problem solvers and future STEM leaders. Through the Cufflink platform, students take an active role in managing their schools’ energy use—analyzing real-time data and making informed decisions.

Tap Native Launches Precision Bidding by NPI, Empowering Pharma Marketers to Reach HCPs at the Individual Level

Published

on

By

RAMSEY, N.J., May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tap Native, a leading healthcare-focused digital advertising platform, today announced the launch of its new Bid by NPI capability, a precision targeting feature that enables pharmaceutical advertisers to assign custom cost-per-click (CPC) bids to individual healthcare professionals (HCPs) using their National Provider Identifier (NPI).

This new feature represents a shift away from legacy decile-based targeting models, which broadly group providers by prescribing volume. With Bid by NPI, marketers can now strategically prioritize physicians and other HCPs based on specialty, historical engagement, therapeutic alignment, or other campaign-specific attributes—maximizing budget efficiency and ROI.

“By allowing marketers to bid by NPI, we’re giving them a tool to align their investments directly with their goals,” said RJ Lewis, Co-Founder of Tap Native. “Every healthcare professional has a unique value to each brand. Our platform now reflects that reality.”

Tap Native’s authenticated HCP reach already spans more than 82% of U.S.-based healthcare providers across a wide range of digital properties. With this new targeting precision, brands can reach their highest-priority audiences more effectively, with real-time control over how and where ad spend is allocated.

“This bidding feature gives advertisers more power to connect meaningfully with their most important audiences,” said Rafael Cosentino, Vice President of Business Development at Tap Native. “We’re excited to bring greater efficiency and accountability to the healthcare advertising landscape.”

The introduction of NPI-level bidding aligns with the industry’s broader transition toward data-driven strategies that emphasize measurable performance and person-level engagement. It also supports publishers by improving campaign effectiveness and engagement rates.

As healthcare marketers continue to seek greater transparency and value from their advertising investments, tools like Bid by NPI offer a future-ready approach to reaching the right providers at the right moment, with maximum relevance.

About Tap Native

Tap Native is a performance-driven digital advertising platform purpose-built for healthcare. The company connects health brands with authenticated healthcare professionals and engaged consumer audiences across high-quality publisher environments. Tap Native enables advanced targeting, contextual placements, and real-time optimization to deliver measurable outcomes for advertisers.
