Here's a great resource from the Idaho National Laboratory.

It is a flipbook that has several STEAM-based careers outlined so that kids can get a feel for what working in a nuclear laboratory is like and how to prepare for such a career.

From NASA - This panorama, taken on Feb. 20, 2021, by the Navigation Cameras, or Navcams, aboard NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover, was stitched together from six individual images after they were sent back to Earth.

Disclaimer: the original photo does not have the full sky, I edited the sky to have a full 360 experience inside a VR headset like Oculus Quest 2. The sky does not represent the real sky from Mars.

Excited to watch the Perseverance Rover landing on Mars. We've been waiting for this for a long time. Can't wait to see and hear it!

Tomorrow, Friday October 9th, is the last day of the Minecraft Space Program of 2020. We're going to be mining, building, and shooting off fireworks on another planet. We will literally go out with a bang! We're allowing drop in students for the celebration for only $10. Class starts at 1:30-3:00 pm PST. Contact us right away to add in. (You need to have your own Minecraft JAVA Edition account.)

Due to the fire YCJUSD classes were cancelled last week. Our Minecraft classes still happily happened and we were able to have some indoor fun despite the stresses outside.
But to keep our minds sharp and focused on positivity during all that extra free time I encouraged my boys to keep working on their talents.
My sons made some great art projects that they wanted to share to help others feel better too, both really cool digital renderings and physical drawings. What's more comforting than milk and cookies, right? And my youngest son loves to draw these Dragon Ball characters because they 'power up' against adversity.
Here's a few sample pictures. Please check out my son's YouTube channel that he created last week where he posted videos of the making of his drawings. He'd be so happy to have new subscribers! 😁 https://youtu.be/iJDlbgF9QYM
Blessings to you all and I hope you find ways to stay positive every day!

This video was taken during our Minecraft Mini-Games FREE trial class today.
Good news!! We found out a way to offer our classes to those using Minecraft Bedrock version, meaning anyone who uses a console, hand-held device, Fire TV, or Windows 10. We are going to do another trial next week for those children who could never participate before because they didn't have Minecraft JAVA Edition.
