Let’s Get Ready to Learn

It’s that time of year where students are heading back to school to learn about the subjects of English, history, math, science, and everything in-between. Whether they are learning in the classroom or from home, we wish all of our students the best of luck for the 2020-2021 school year! From the words of Oprah Winfrey, “Education is the key to unlocking the world, a passport to freedom.”

Your Health Is Important

COVID-19 has turned our world upside down. One of those ways has been through virtual learning. Virtual learning will not only continue to be a challenge for students and parents, but also for teachers. Now more than ever, they need our support. Dr. Beth Trammell, an Associate Professor of Psychology at Indiana University East, talks about the importance of our teachers and how we can help their mental health.

What is a Bicycle?

It’s a mode of transportation. It’s a vehicle that requires you to use physical and mental strength to push the machine forward, while reducing your carbon footprint. It’s also the first machine we master as children, only to later abandon when the seductions of an automobile surround us. So, why is a bicycle important? Why should we not abandon it and continue to use it everyday? Because life is like riding a bicycle; to keep your balance, you must keep moving.

Future Ready Robotics Camp Postponed Until 2021

After analyzing potential dates for the Fall of 2020 for Future Ready Robotics Camp, it was determined that it would be best to postpone the program until the later spring or early summer of 2021. Although we are greatly disappointed, additional time will allow our team to create a camp greater than we could have ever imagined. We can’t wait to see our students experience the joy of learning about robots in the near future!
