World Book Day was a good reminder of what we are missing by moving away from Textbooks and into Chromebooks for education. We seem to be missing a Canon of texts that unites readers everywhere.
Once upon a time, readers across the nation grew up with the same fables, myths, adventures, and moral touchstones. Now every student gets a different algorithm, a different feed, and different "excerpts" catered to their reading level.
This LEGO robot follows a path using ONE motor and ONE color sensor.
It’s inspired by Jesse Jackson and peaceful marches for justice—where progress wasn’t always straight, but persistence mattered.
