The spark! Culture Cave is a business concept for a cultural immersion experience for kids between the ages of 6 and 10. This is our business plan document.
Team: Aysegul Kacar, Allison Leach, Shalini Sardana, Lisa Woods
Class: Business of Design, MFA Design program at California College of the Arts (CCA)
Semester: Spring 2012
Instructors: Maria Guidice and Christopher Ireland
The Concept:
We believe that the best way to teach kids about culture is through traditional stories enhanced by interactive, open-ended, and hands-on activities that spring from that narrative.
From that perspective we created the Spark! Culture Cave. Components include:
• an iPad app that features a new traditional story each month. The culturally-rich story provides context for a wealth of ancillary information, games, and activities included in each app.
• an immersive sound-equipped tent with Velcro walls that kids can decorate with a world map, architectural cut-outs, and other country kit materials. This is a place a child can claim as a kids-only cool hangout.
• monthly country-specific activity kits filled with open-ended, and hands-on activities that a child will look forward to
Our aims include:
• Presenting the cultural richness of the world to kids one interesting chunk at a time
• Leveraging the delight of receiving a new gift in the mail each month
• Harnessing the flexibility of the subscription model
• Enriching the digital experience with a physical environment

Professional Digital Presence for the Librarian Reseachermputerba
Good Day,
Take the survey https://bit.ly/2ZlJvkR
My colleagues Heather Alexander, Dominican College, and Hua Sun, Shandong University of Arts, and I are researching the development of librarians as professionals. Part of this research comes in the shape of a survey found at https://bit.ly/2ZlJvkR. The study looks at one aspect of this research, the promotion of librarians as researchers.
Generally speaking, librarians conduct research as part of their work. Usually, this research involves day to day tasks such as the gathering usage statistics for ILL, databases, and the physical library. These are important within the institution. At other times the information gathered by librarians has practical implications for the profession as a whole and are shared in publications or conference presentations.
As part of our research, we want to know if and with what tools librarians promote their research as professionals. In particular, we are looking at the use of social media to create a professional digital presence.
Please help us in this study by taking the survey at https://bit.ly/2ZlJvkR . The survey takes less than 10 minutes. We are doing this solely for scholarly purposes.
If you would like to review the sites discussed in the survey, please see the presentation at https://bit.ly/2JxSfiR .

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
