JOIN US today FOR THIS MOVIE IN THE CLIC
In search of wisdom found in unlikely places, the documentary, The Philosopher Kings takes us on a journey through the halls of the most prestigious colleges and universities in America to learn from the staff members who see it all and have been through it all: the custodians. This thought-provoking, feature-length documentary interweaves the untold stories of triumph and tragedy from the members of society who are often disregarded and ignored, and seeks out the kind of wisdom that gets you through the day and the lessons one learns from surviving hard times, lost loves, and shattered dreams. <View the documentary trailer here.>

TEA & TECH
Mathematical estimation is an important workforce skill. This Tea & Technology presentation will describe the process of developing applications for the iPhone / iPod Touch to create an Estimation Calculator. Rather than providing an exact answer, the Estimation Calculator provides students with guidance on the degree to which their work approximates the actual answer to encourage students to develop an enhanced number sense. The Estimation Calculator will be piloted with at-risk students in local schools.   Please join Dr. Robert Berry and Peter Malcolm for this event.
