The approximately 65 Soldiers of the Utah Army National Guard's Second Battalion, 211th Aviation (referred to as the 2-211th) departed Utah on the first leg of their 12-month deployment to Afghanistan Wednesday, June 22, from the Utah Guard's Army Aviation Support Facility in West Jordan.

Pilots and crews of the 2-211th left West Jordan in their assigned UH=60 helicopters bound for Fort Hood, Texas, where they will receive several weeks of training for their assigned mission to transport personnel and equipment in the U.S. Central Command area of operations. Other members of the unit joined them at Fort Hood later the same week.

Maj. Gen. Walter E. Piatt, 10th Mountain Division (LI) and Fort Drum commander, Command Sgt. Maj. Samuel J. Roark, command sergeant major of 10th Mountain Division, and Dr. Laurie Rush, Fort Drum Cultural Resources manager, placed a wreath Nov. 2 at the grave of an Italian soldier buried at the Prisoner of War (POW) Cemetery outside of Fort Drum, New York.

Pvt. Rino Carlutti died Oct. 17, 1944 at the age of 22 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. He was born in the village of Daniele del Friuli, Udine, located northwest of Venice.

The wreath-laying was scheduled in conjunction with National Unity Day and Armed Forces Day in Italy, which is observed annually on Nov. 4. It commemorates the victory of Italy over Austria-Hungary in 1918 during World War I.

Merck says pill to treat Covid-19 cuts the risk of death by half

A pill has cut the risk of hospitalization or death from Covid-19 by half in a study, Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics said Friday.

It would become the first oral medicine that fights viral infection for Covid-19 if approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization.

"At the interim analysis, molnupiravir reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by approximately 50%," Merck said in a news release. "7.3% of patients who received molnupiravir were either hospitalized or died through Day 29 following randomization (28/385), compared with 14.1% of placebo treated patients (53,377). Through Day 29, no deaths were reported in patients who received molnupiravir, as compared to 8 deaths in patients who received placebo."

Merck said it will seek FDA emergency use authorization "as soon as possible."

Molnupiravir is not a vaccine. It is an oral antiviral, and experts have said developing such a drug could be the next chance to thwart Covid-19. A short-term regimen of daily pills would aim to fight the virus early after diagnosis and prevent symptoms from developing after exposure.

Merck has been producing doses while awaiting the study results and expects to produce 10 million by the end of the year.

One antiviral drug has been approved to treat Covid. Remdesivir is given intravenously to sick patients in the hospital. It is not meant for early, widespread use.

Vaccination still the best tool, White House official says

The announcement by Merck is "very good news," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Friday in a White House Covid-19 briefing.

"The news of the efficacy of this particular antiviral is obviously very good news," Fauci said. "The company, when they briefed us last night, had mentioned that they will be submitting their data to the FDA imminently."

The best way to think about the antiviral, when it is authorized or approved, is as an additional tool, White House Covid-19 Response Coordinator Jeff Zients added.

"If approved, I think the right way to think about this is this is a potential additional tool in our toolbox to protect people from the worst outcomes of Covid," Zients said. "I think it's really important to remember that vaccination, as we've talked about today, remains far and away our best tool against Covid-19. It can prevent you from getting Covid in the first place. And we want to prevent infections, not just wait to treat them once they happen."

Some states are seeing increased vaccinations

Meanwhile, more states and health care systems are moving toward mandatory inoculations for certain workers. Officials hope the incentive of employment will eliminate hesitancy over Covid-19 vaccines -- while one governor is making contingency plans.

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont has instructed the National Guard to prepare in case of staffing shortages when a mandate and testing requirement go into effect at the end of Monday. State employees must provide proof of vaccination or submit to weekly tests; those who don't will be put on unpaid leave.

As of Thursday, more than 63% -- 20,000 employees -- were fully vaccinated, while 12% of employees have started weekly testing, Lamont said. More than 8,000 non-compliant employees remain, yet some 2,000 have updated their status in the last two days.

"We have provided most state employees with the option to get tested weekly instead of getting vaccinated, providing more flexibility than our neighboring states. We have also provided our employees with a compliance grace period. There is no reason all our employees should not be in compliance," Lamont said.

Connecticut is one of several states that face pushback over mandating vaccinations for critical workers. Health experts say it is necessary to protect people at a higher risk for Covid-19. But it has been met with resistance from a minority wishing to remain unvaccinated and in their current roles.

In Rhode Island, the Health Department announced in August that "all employees, interns, and volunteers in RIDOH-licensed healthcare facilities" would be required to get their first dose of the vaccine by Friday.

Care New England, one of the largest hospital systems in the state, reported Thursday that over 95% of its health care employees have been vaccinated. Staff vaccination "continues to climb by the day and the hour," said CEO James E. Fanale.

The deadline has passed in other states. California's 2 million health care workers needed to be vaccinated by Thursday or risk losing their jobs, with exemptions available for religious beliefs or qualifying medical reasons.

In New York, none of the health care facilities shut down as a result of vaccine mandates for workers, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Thursday. Earlier this week, it was reported that 92% of nursing home staff, 89% of adult care facilities staff, and 92% of hospital staff have received at least one dose statewide.

"You will see that number go higher quickly, because what we're finding is, you know, as more people are furloughed or suspended, that that number is going to go up," Hochul said.

A group of public school teachers asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to block the New York City vaccine mandate set to go into effect Friday afternoon.

New York City's teachers are now 93% vaccinated, with the deadline approaching at the end of the day, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday morning.

New York City Schools Chancellor Meisha Porter does not expect to have a shortage of teachers on Monday after a vaccine mandate for educators goes into effect, she said.

"We have more subs that are vaccinated than unvaccinated. Teachers and our superintendents have been working with our principals to develop plans to ensure our students get the education and continue to get the education they deserve in person," Porter told CNN.

Vaccines for younger kids be available soon, but poll finds hesitancy remains

The resumption of in-person learning in schools has already been complicated by Covid-19 outbreaks and the quarantining of exposed students and staff.

Yet despite evidence that vaccinations are lowering infections and severity among eligible age groups, hesitancy remains among some parents about inoculating children 5 to 11, a survey says.

One-third of parents of 5- to 11-year-olds say that they will vaccinate their child as soon as possible, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation Vaccine Monitor on Thursday. A similar percentage, 32%, say that they will wait and see how the vaccine is working, and 24% say that they definitely won't get their kids vaccinated.

The bulk of interviews, conducted September 13 to 22 from a sample of more than 1,500 adults, were before Pfizer announced that clinical trials showed their Covid-19 vaccine was safe and generated an immune response in this age group.

The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is approved for people age 16 and older and has an emergency use authorization for people ages 12 to 15.

Among those already eligible for vaccines, the latest data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that nearly 200 million US adults have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine. Nearly 67% of US adults are fully vaccinated.

Death rates in non-metropolitan areas are higher, study finds

Researchers are looking at the pandemic's effects on different parts of the nation.

Deaths from Covid-19 in non-metropolitan areas are occurring at more than twice the rate in metropolitan areas, according to an analysis of Johns Hopkins University data from the University of Iowa's Center for Health Policy Analysis.

In the two weeks ending September 15, non-metropolitan areas had an average of 0.85 Covid-19 deaths for every 100,000 residents. Metropolitan areas had an average of 0.41.

Deaths in nonmetropolitan areas have outpaced those in metropolitan areas consistently since the beginning of the study in April 2020. The numbers from September 15 are the fourth time the non-metro death rate has been at least double the metro. The non-metro rate had not doubled the metro since December 1.

21 and over

The William and Mary men’s basketball team led from start to finish and pushed its home-court winning streak to 14 games with a 77-58 victory over Elon on Wednesday night at Kaplan Arena. W&M shot 49 percent from the floor, knocked down ten 3-pointers and connected on 17-of-20 from the free throw line in outdistancing Elon. W&M remained in first place in the CAA at 10-3 in league and 16-8 overall, while Elon dropped to 11-15 on the year and 3-10 in CAA play.

Omar Prewitt led the Tribe, scoring 18 of his game-high 19 points in the first half to go with seven rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots. Sean Sheldon picked up his first career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Marcus Thornton finished with 17 points and three assists.

The Tribe jumped out to an early advantage thanks in large part to the play of Prewitt and Sheldon. They combined for 24 of the Tribe’s opening 28 points as the Green and Gold opened up a double-digit advantage. W&M scored 11 of game’s first 13 points as four straight from Sheldon, including a pair of free throws, gave W&M the nine-point cushion.

Five straight from Elon closed the gap to 11-7 at the 13:51 mark, but W&M responded with and 8-2 run, including six from Prewitt. His 3-pointer from the left side extended the Tribe lead to 19-9. The Tribe lead remained in double digits, jumping to 30-15 on a Thornton setback jumper with four and a half minutes left in the half. The margin was 11 points following an Elijah Bryant jumper at the 3:20 mark, before the home team ripped off a 12-2 run to push its advantage over 20.

Connor Burchfield provided W&M with a huge lift off the bench, hitting back-to-back 3-pointers. A steal and fast break bucket from Thornton gave W&M a 17-point advantage and forced an Elon timeout. The Green and Gold run continued on a tough finish inside from Sheldon and a pair of Prewitt free throws, extending the lead to 42-21 with a minute left in the first half. W&M led by 19 at the intermission after shooting 51.7 percent (15-of-29), while limiting Elon to 36 percent (9-of-25) in the opening 20 minutes.

The visiting Phoenix scored eight of first 11 in the second half to draw within 14 points. Hamilton scored six straight points for Elon, including a steal and fast break lay-up to close the visitors to within 45-31 with 16:45 left.

After failing to hit a 3-pointer in the opening 20 minutes, Thornton knocked down back-to-back triples, including one of the step-back variety, to push the lead back to 18, 51-33, and the Phoenix never got closer than 15 points the rest of the way. His fast break lay-up off a Sheldon defensive rebound and look-ahead pass gave W&M a 60-40 lead with just under eight minutes remaining.

The cushion reached as many as 23 on a pair of occasions, including on Thornton’s third 3-pointer of the second half with 2:50 to play. From there, both teams emptied the bench and W&M picked up a 77-58 win, its 16th of the season. The 16 wins rank 10th in program history.

In a stark contrast from the earlier meeting this season, W&M limited Elon to just 3-of-22 (13.6 percent) from 3-point range, including only 1-of-14 from its top two scorers in Bryant and Tanner Samson. The Phoenix duo was 12-of-22 from long range and combined for 45 points in their home win over the Tribe in January. Elon finished the game shooting 40.3 percent (25-of-62) from the floor. Bryant led Elon with 15 points and 10 rebounds, but was just 5-of-15 from the field and 1-of-4 from 3-point range. Samson, who had 20 in the first meeting, finished with just two points and was 0-of-10 from 3-point range. Hamilton added 13 points, while Christian Hairston tallied 10 off the bench.

Playing without the services of guard Daniel Dixon, who was out due to injury, the Tribe received a number of contributions, especially from its freshman class. Rookie Oliver Tot garnered his first career start, finishing with three rebounds and two assists in a strong floor game. Greg Malinowski added six points, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers, to go along with two assists and fellow classmate Burchfield poured in six points on two 3-pointers. Tom Schalk added six points, four rebounds and a career-high three blocked shots off the bench.

W&M shot 49 percent (25-of-51) on the night, including a 10-of-24 (41.7 percent) effort from 3-point range. The Green and Gold continued its strong free throw shooting, connecting on 85 percent (17-of-20) from the charity stripe. The Tribe out rebounded Elon, 36-30, and dished out 14 assists on its 25 made field goals.

Red Weasel Media was sitting on the baseline to capture all of the high flying action.

The 56-year-old motorcyclist who was critically injured Tuesday after a crash in Fox River Grove has died in the hospital, according to a family member and the coroner.

The Fox River Grove Police Department and Fox River Grove Fire Department responded around 1:20 p.m. Tuesday to Route 22 and Route 14 for a motorcycle crash.

The crash, which happened east of Route 14 on Route 22 near Ski Hill Road, was called in by a passing Barrington-Countryside Fire Protection District ambulance. Paramedics from the passing ambulance stopped and began working CPR on the 56-year-old man driving the motorcycle.

A Flight For Life medical helicopter was called and landed nearby at the Algonquin Road Elementary School. The motorcyclist was stabilized and transferred to the waiting helicopter, which transported the man to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.

Lake County Sheriff Spokesman Sgt. Christopher Covelli said that the motorcyclist suffered critical injuries and was in extremely critical condition Tuesday evening.

The man, identified by family as Thomas Frueh, was in a coma and died Wednesday, according to a relative of the man.

Lake County Coroner Dr. Howard Cooper confirmed his office was responding to Advocate Condell Medical Center Wednesday evening.

Fox River Grove Police Chief Eric Waitrovich said that a 20-year-old woman driving the sedan that struck the motorcycle was transported by ambulance to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington with non-life-threatening injuries.

Waitrovich said that the 20-year-old woman was exiting a parking lot onto Route 22 when her car struck Frueh as he was traveling westbound on his motorcycle.

Covelli said that the Lake County Sheriff’s Office was called to assist the Fox River Grove Police Department with technical crash investigation support. Route 22 from Route 14 to Ski Hill Road was closed for the investigation for several hours Tuesday.

The crash remains under investigation by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the Fox River Grove Police Department.

A little 3km snowshoe trek to a WW2 crash site near Gander. RCAF Lockheed Lodestar #557 flew a cargo run from Moncton to Gander in May 1943. Arriving over Gander the aircraft encountered low ceiling; after 3 failed attempts to land, the machine stalled while trying to align with Runway 27 (now defunct) for another approach and impacted the ground. All three RCAF crew perished in the accident. They were: WO2 Svendsen (pilot, age 37, from Vancouver), WO2 Allan (second pilot, age 24, from Montreal), and LAC Sewell (Wireless Operator, age 22, from South Devon NB). All three are interned at the Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in Gander.

In 1916, architect Harvey Wiley Corbett gave a much-needed facelift to an early 19th century building located at what is today 4-26 East 8th Street, at the corner of University Place. The facade appears to evoke memories of Corbett's childhood in San Francisco, California, containing elements of Mission architecture morphed into an eclectic blend of stylings that included these glazed decorative tiles on the facade of the building.

The buildings served as cooperative apartments; writer Max Eastman, who edited the socialist magazine The Masses was an early resident here (living in Number 12 in 1917), as well as E B White, author of Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little who lived at Number 16 from 1930-1936. Sculptor and medalist Victor David Brenner, whose most enduring legacy was the design of the Lincoln penny, had his studio at Number 20 and lived at Number 18. Accused communist spy Alger Hiss resided in Number 22 from 1940-1947. Today, the building houses faculty members of New York University.

Corbett garnered front-page headlines when he was arrested in 1910 as one of two primary participants in a scam to bilk investors out of money for a company called the Magnesia Asbestos Co. in New Jersey... whose factory existed only on paper. While in jail awaiting trial, Corbett turned states-evidence on his partner in crime, John A. Qualey, in order to save his own hide. (Qualey would be sentenced to 8 years in prison).

Since architects are innately moral relativists, the incident did little to harm Corbett's career.

Corbett went on to promote "futurism" in architecture, championing Art Deco skyscrapers that contained Neo-Gothic stylings. He undertook numerous projects in New York City, including the 1908 New York School of Applied Design for Women (Lexington Ave and 30th St); the 1916 Bush Tower at 130-132 West 42nd Street; the 1927 residential skyscraper at 1 Fifth Avenue (Helmle, Corbett & Harrison and Sugarman & Berger); the 1928 Metropolitan Life North Building at 11-25 Madison Avenue (originally planned at 100 stories by cut short by the Depression at 32); and the Master Apartments at 310 Riverside Drive.

Ford Motor Company Fund returned as sole sponsor of the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium, marking its 10th year with the title “Moving Forward: The State of the Industry.” The annual event was held Thursday, Feb. 20, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. The event was free to the public.

A portion of Ford’s sponsorship will be directed to support community programs, including a $10,000 grant to Duke Media Foundation.

Last year, the film entertainment industry set a record with box office receipts totaling $11 billion. Black filmmakers, including an increased number of black film directors and actors starring in lead roles, as well as gripping feature films and moving historical pieces all played a role in this unprecedented success.

“Ford is proud to be working again with the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium to showcase a renaissance in black film at all levels,” said Pamela Alexander, director of community development, Ford Motor Company Fund. “We congratulate the award-winning Bill Duke and Duke Media Foundation for their work in developing media and financial literacy programs to prepare inner-city and gifted high school students for the new digital media age.”

The event focused on whether this newfound success was due to a broader industry trend or the achievement of a new stronghold for blacks in the film industry. More than 300 people including Hollywood entertainers, NAACP board members, members of the NAACP Image Awards’ committee and television academy, as well as film and television students from local colleges and universities convened for this event. They also engaged in the question and answer session by directly addressing the panel participants with various inquiries.

FRONT WHEEL COLLAPSES.

FATALITY AT TAKAPUNA.

A Takapuna resident, Robert Douglas Budge, 35, married, was thrown headlong from his bicycle in Lake Road. Takapuna, yesterday afternoon and died in the Auckland Hospital from head injuries.

Mr. Budge, whose home was in East Coast Road, Milford, was returning from work when the front wheel of his cycle collapsed and he fell heavily forward on to the kerb. Help was immediately summoned by a friend who accompanied him and the injured man was taken to a house nearby. Later he was removed to the hospital in a critical condition.

They followed the lorry down the hill on the main road and, climbing the hill further mi. they both hung on to it for a tow. Both clung to the left-hand side of the lorry, witness at the rear and Budge near the centre.

When the top of the hill, at Clifton Road, was reached, witness let go, and lie thought Budge did the same. Witness looked away for a minute, and his attention was drawn by a crash, as if Budge's bicycle had fallen. Budge was lying on the roadway unconscious and bleeding from the left ear.

Witness considered that the driver of the lorry did not know the two cyclists were behind him. He had always found Budge a careful man with a bicycle, and his machine, as far as witness knew. was in good order. The road was dry. The truck was travelling at between 12 and 15 miles an hour.

Budge was a married man. 29 years of age. and had one child. He lived at East Coast Road, Takapuna. The inquiry was adjourned.

Tam Makers hosted an exhibit at Marinovators 2017 -- a free event that showcases young makers in Marin County. We presented some of the cool projects our members created in our makerspace: elegant boxes, wooden bowls, robot arms, interactive art and gadgets.

This year’s featured exhibit was a Time Machine created by our Maker Art class at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Our 4th and 5th graders were on hand all day to demonstrate this innovative after-school project, which combines art, technology and storytelling -- using Arduino, motors, lights and sounds.

We also invited visitors to make their own Tam Makers badges with LEDs, laser cut shapes, and color markers. They created some ingenious badges, and wore them proudly at the show. Everyone seemed to enjoy their experience with Tam Makers: children, parents, makers and woodworkers all had a wonderful time making art together and learning from each other.

It was a great way to celebrate art and science and encourage children to build a better world.

Marinovators took place on Saturday, April 22, from 10am to 3pm, at the College of Marin in Kentfield. Our Tam Makers booth was in Room #245 in the new Academic Center.

A basketball and softball standout, Smith was recognized to the 2018 Hall of Fame inductee class on Oct. 13 during an induction dinner and ceremony at SUNY Oswego.

Smith still holds spots in the top 10 of several women's basketball records. The most impressive of these is her 18.1 points per game average, which is the most in any Laker career to this day. She also set the single-game record for points, posting 40 against Potsdam on Feb. 14, 1989. That same night, she set the single-game record for free-throws made, cashing in 20 of 22 from the charity stripe. For her career, Smith's 3-pointers made (85), 3-point percentage (31.4) and free-throw percentage (73.4) all remain in the program's top 10 for each category. The effort she put forth during the 1988-89 and 1989-90 seasons led to SUNYAC coaches selecting Smith to the All-Conference First Team each year.

On the diamond, Smith scored a total of 49 runs, including six home runs, during her years as a Laker. She achieved a career batting average of .412, with an on-base percentage of .521. She was also a two-time All-Conference honoree, named as one of the five best outfielders in the league in 1989 and 1990.

In 1916, architect Harvey Wiley Corbett gave a much-needed facelift to an early 19th century building located at what is today 4-26 East 8th Street, at the corner of University Place. The facade appears to evoke memories of Corbett's childhood in San Francisco, California, containing elements of Mission architecture morphed into an eclectic blend of stylings that included these glazed decorative tiles on the facade of the building.

The buildings served as cooperative apartments; writer Max Eastman, who edited the socialist magazine The Masses was an early resident here (living in Number 12 in 1917), as well as E B White, author of Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little who lived at Number 16 from 1930-1936. Sculptor and medalist Victor David Brenner, whose most enduring legacy was the design of the Lincoln penny, had his studio at Number 20 and lived at Number 18. Accused communist spy Alger Hiss resided in Number 22 from 1940-1947. Today, the building houses faculty members of New York University.

Corbett garnered front-page headlines when he was arrested in 1910 as one of two primary participants in a scam to bilk investors out of money for a company called the Magnesia Asbestos Co. in New Jersey... whose factory existed only on paper. While in jail awaiting trial, Corbett turned states-evidence on his partner in crime, John A. Qualey, in order to save his own hide. (Qualey would be sentenced to 8 years in prison).

Since architects are innately moral relativists, the incident did little to harm Corbett's career.

Corbett went on to promote "futurism" in architecture, championing Art Deco skyscrapers that contained Neo-Gothic stylings. He undertook numerous projects in New York City, including the 1908 New York School of Applied Design for Women (Lexington Ave and 30th St); the 1916 Bush Tower at 130-132 West 42nd Street; the 1927 residential skyscraper at 1 Fifth Avenue (Helmle, Corbett & Harrison and Sugarman & Berger); the 1928 Metropolitan Life North Building at 11-25 Madison Avenue (originally planned at 100 stories by cut short by the Depression at 32); and the Master Apartments at 310 Riverside Drive.

Ford Motor Company Fund returned as sole sponsor of the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium, marking its 10th year with the title “Moving Forward: The State of the Industry.” The annual event was held Thursday, Feb. 20, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. The event was free to the public.

A portion of Ford’s sponsorship will be directed to support community programs, including a $10,000 grant to Duke Media Foundation.

Last year, the film entertainment industry set a record with box office receipts totaling $11 billion. Black filmmakers, including an increased number of black film directors and actors starring in lead roles, as well as gripping feature films and moving historical pieces all played a role in this unprecedented success.

“Ford is proud to be working again with the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium to showcase a renaissance in black film at all levels,” said Pamela Alexander, director of community development, Ford Motor Company Fund. “We congratulate the award-winning Bill Duke and Duke Media Foundation for their work in developing media and financial literacy programs to prepare inner-city and gifted high school students for the new digital media age.”

The event focused on whether this newfound success was due to a broader industry trend or the achievement of a new stronghold for blacks in the film industry. More than 300 people including Hollywood entertainers, NAACP board members, members of the NAACP Image Awards’ committee and television academy, as well as film and television students from local colleges and universities convened for this event. They also engaged in the question and answer session by directly addressing the panel participants with various inquiries. All panelists encourage aspiring artists to persevere and learn to perfect their craft.

Panel participants included humanitarian/activist/director Bill Duke, CAA agent Cameron Mitchell, senior vice president of production for Columbia Tristar Pictures Devon Franklin, and author and producer Flo McAfee. Ramsey Jay Jr., nationally renowned writer, interviewer and producer, served as panel moderator.

The Hollywood Bureau Symposium was one of several popular events held during Image Awards week. The 45th NAACP Image Awards aired Saturday, Feb. 22, from 9 to 11 p.m. on TV One. Check local listings for encore broadcasts.

We presented our Time Machine at Marinovators 2017, an annual showcase for young makers in Marin County.

Our Time Machine was created by the Maker Art class taught by Fabrice Florin and Edward Janne at the Lycée Français in Sausalito in winter 2017. Our 4th and 5th graders designed and built their own scenes from the past, present and future -- from the age of dinosaurs to the 50th century. This interactive art exhibit combines art, technology and storytelling -- using Arduino, motions, lights and sounds.

Many of our students and their parents were on hand to demonstrate this innovative after-school project to dozens of visitors of all ages. Everyone seemed to enjoy their experience, and it was a great opportunity for the kids to get the recognition they deserve. This innovative after-school project helps children develop their creative and collaborative skills -- and the confidence that they can help change the world.

We hosted this exhibit with Tam Makers, our makerspace in Mill Valley, where many of the artifacts for the Time Machine were fabricated, based on the children’s designs. We also invited visitors to make their own Tam Makers badges with LEDs, laser cut shapes, and color markers. They created some ingenious badges, and wore them proudly at the show.

It was a great way to celebrate art and science and encourage children to build a better world.

Marinovators took place on Saturday, April 22, from 10am to 3pm, at the College of Marin in Kentfield. Our Tam Makers booth was in Room #245 in the new Academic Center.
