Poster Presentation
This document summarizes an action research study that examined the impact of a cross-curricular, project-based learning environment called Academy 21 on developing 21st century skills in middle school students. Data was collected from an experimental group of 28 students participating in Academy 21 and a control group of 22 students in a traditional classroom setting. Results provided compelling evidence that Academy 21 improved students' mastery of 21st century skills like collaboration, communication, and self-directed learning compared to the control group. The study recommends expanding Academy 21 to provide an alternative learning approach for more students.

Moon landing argument w
The document summarizes arguments made by those claiming the moon landing was faked and provides explanations for these arguments. It examines eight photos from the moon landing and common claims made about anomalies or issues with the photos. Each claim is presented, such as flags waving or well-lit shadows, followed by an explanation debunking the claims, often referencing the work of Mythbusters or analyses by NASA. After reviewing the evidence, the document concludes that while the photos had some flaws, explanations have backed them up and the moon landing was likely not faked.
Famous Astronomers And Astronauts1
The document discusses several famous astronomers and astronauts including:
John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, who were the first people to walk on the moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. James Lovell, who flew on two Gemini missions and two Apollo missions to orbit the moon.
It also briefly mentions astronomers Nicholas Copernicus, who developed the Copernican theory that the Earth and planets revolve around the sun, Halton Arp, and Kathryn Thornton, the first woman to graduate from the US Naval Academy.
History Of The Space Program
The Cold War tensions between the US and Soviet Union led to the Space Race in the late 1950s. The Soviets launched Sputnik 1 and 2, the first artificial satellites, and sent the first human, Yuri Gagarin, into space in 1961. In response, NASA was established in 1958 and launched Explorer 1, America's first satellite. NASA's Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs achieved major milestones, culminating in the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first humans on the Moon in 1969. Both nations' space programs drove scientific progress and discovery.

Wind energy provides a clean, renewable source of electricity that could meet over twice the current electricity demand in the United States. Wind turbines generate electricity through the rotation of blades connected to a shaft that spins a generator without emitting pollutants or consuming water. Farmers and ranchers can also benefit financially from hosting wind turbines on their land. Additionally, wind turbines are durable and can operate in a variety of climates around 80% of the world.

Nuclear energy uses the nucleus of atoms, mainly uranium, to create energy through fission or fusion. Fission splits atoms into smaller atoms, while fusion combines atoms into larger ones. The energy from these reactions is transferred to water and used to heat it up and power turbines. There are two main types of commercial nuclear reactors in the U.S. - boiling water reactors and pressurized water reactors. Nuclear energy is beneficial as it produces large amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel and does not produce air pollution, though some view it as potentially unsafe.

The energy from these reactions is transferred to water and used to heat it up and power turbines. There are two main types of commercial nuclear reactors in the U.S. - boiling water reactors that use nuclear energy to boil water and pressurized water reactors that keep water pressurized to power turbines. Nuclear energy provides around 15-20% of the U.S.'s power and up to 80% of France's power. It has advantages of using little fuel and producing no air pollution compared to fossil fuels.

Geothermal energy harnesses heat from within the Earth's crust to generate electricity in power plants. It provides a renewable energy source that is available almost anywhere and produces energy with less pollution than other sources. California generates 5% of its electricity from geothermal energy, and the heat contained in just the upper 33,000 feet of Earth's crust contains 50,000 times more energy than all the planet's oil and natural gas reserves combined.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
