High school students thumb through vintage magazines from World War II. They enjoy the ads as much as the stories and pictures.
A few times a year, Human Connections organizes GETs (Global Engagement Trips) for student groups, tourists, and other visitors eager to gain a better understanding of the local culture in Nayarit, Mexico. This particular GET group, from Northern Illinois University, participated in a week long program centered around social entrepreneurship, NGO management, and sustainable development.

A Marine with aircraft rescue and firefighting, Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, -Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, assists a fifth grade student from E.C. Killin Elementary School, Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, in operating a hand line during a field trip to MCAS Futenma, Okinawa, Japan, May 8. The Marines also conducted live demonstrations of quick response procedures and an exercise called line drills, in which rescuemen train to clear a site of flammable substances.

Cpl. Jesus A. Covarrubias assists a student from E.C. Killin Elementary School, located on, Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, in properly donning thermal protective equipment, May 8, during a tour of the aircraft rescue and fire fighting station on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan. The tour was a part of a visit to the flight line on MCAS Futenma that provided students with the understanding of the ARFF Marines’ responsibilities with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron, MCAS Futenma and the opportunity to explore various career paths. Covarrubias is an expeditionary air field maintenance crew air craft recovery specialist with ARFF, H&HS, MCAS Futenma, and an Erie, Pennsylvania, native. (Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl. Janessa K.

This is a hand-embroidered artist trading card (ATC) that I made for my youngest daughter.
It's going into an alphabet book that is made up of ATCs (there are two ATCs per letter - one that I made and one that someone else made that I traded for).
It is the standard 2 1/2" x 3 1/2", and made from felt and embroidery floss. The entire front of the card is done in the back-stitch; and the card is blanket-stitched to a felt backing.
I'm going to make another version (without the E) for my shop where there are other hand-embroidered ACEOs that I've made and are available. Please see my Flickr profile for the link to my shop.
This is for one of the stories in the Five in a Row series. The cookbook had a variety of recipes to bring the book to live through food.
Each year Justin Borsato’s Grade 6 and 7 students at Britannia Elementary design, build, and race a mousetrap or balloon-powered car as a way to learn about physics and math concepts.
This project also partners with the UBC Engineering Department, and UBC students volunteer their time over their reading break to mentor Britannia students on basic engineering and physics principles.
Each team had also worked together to brand their carts and create a presentation showcasing their cart’s unique features. Not lacking in creativity, cart names included: Star Cars, Super Mobile and The Flash, The Ugly Duckling and Sabre Toothed Llama.
Alexi Arango, assistant professor of physics at MHC, designed and built this lab specifically to fabricate and test solar cells. The lab comprises a chemical hood, wet deposition glove box, thermal evaporatoration glove box, and characterization glove box.

University of Michigan students smile as their team’s heavily wrapped cubesat is launched as part of Associate Professor James Cutler’s AEROSP 495 and 740 classes from Plumb Lake County Park near Sturgis, Michigan on Tuesday, December 6, 2022. This was the final of four student-designed cubesats, each carried into the stratosphere by a large helium-filled balloon. After launch, the students began getting data from their cubesats and began following them from the ground expecting them to land somewhere between Tecumseh and Saline, Michigan later that afternoon.
The goal of the courses is to give students the opportunity to design and build complex satellite-like flight vehicles. The high-altitude balloons, which are filled with helium, rise into the stratosphere emulating some key aspects of spaceflight. According to Graduate Student Instructor Gage Bergman, "The stratosphere is an extreme environment, it experiences vast temperature differences, and also requires students to develop robust and reliable systems because once a balloon is released, there is no way to retrieve it - just like actual spaceflight.” Bergman is a masters student in aerospace engineering.

This is for one of the stories in the Five in a Row series. The cookbook had a variety of recipes to bring the book to live through food.
This is an example of a cradleboard that was used by the Ojibwe. It is at the North West Company Fur Post which is a reconstruction of a fur trading post as it was operated by trader John Sayer in 1804 on the Snake River, near Pine City (Minnesota).
Last year as part of Sophia's homeschooling she did a unit study about the Nez Perce and Native Americans (using the Kaya books as part of the American Girl history series).
She learned about cradleboards during that time, and was excited to see an example of one (even though it was made and used by another tribe).
