Is your college savings plan insufficient or non-existent? Are you worried that your student will be paying back student loans for the rest of their life? Those were my fears, too! I didn't want my son to be burdened with student loans for 20+ years of his life. But, I had failed to save enough money to pay for his college degree.  So, I coached him to win nearly $100,000 in scholarships, and he's now a debt-free college graduate! Students don't need a perfect 4.0 GPA to win scholarships! Average students can win scholarships if they know how. Students don't have to come from a low-income household to win scholarships! Most scholarships don't even ask about a student's financial situation. Students don't have to be star athletes to win scholarships! Sports scholarships make up a tiny fraction of the scholarships out there. Scholarships are not just for college-bound students. Many scholarships can be used for trade and technical schools, and some even pay cash with no requirements for how the funds are used. Having success with scholarships requires a plan, and that's what Scholarship GPS provides.

Does sound travel faster in space? Is the multiverse theory true? Can gravity escape a black hole? In our latest episode of our popular “Chuck GPT” series, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome our Social Media/Patreon Community Director Stacey Severn to answer fan questions collected from Patreon patrons, students, Facebook and YouTube. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the recently released Euclid space telescope image of galactic cluster Abell 2390, which is about 2.7 billion light years away from Earth, in which more than 50,000 galaxies are visible. You'll also hear about the Coma Cluster, the Virgo Cluster, the closest galactic cluster to us, and the planned Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Our first fan question comes from Emil R. on Patreon: “I wonder what would happen, if you tied one end of a really, really long rope to the International Space Station and have the other end hang down all the way down in the Earth's atmosphere. Would the current speed of the ISS circling the globe counteract the fact that the rope is in the atmosphere and experiencing drag? Would people on airplanes be able to see a rope swing by? Would the end of the rope on the ISS be stretched out or loose, and would it drag the ISS down in its orbit?” Allen, who loves this question, addresses orbital velocity, drag, momentum, conservation of energy, space tethers, sky hooks, space elevators, and the ISS. Chuck talks about having seen the Tethered Satellite System trailing behind the Space Shuttle through the telescope he was using for his doctoral dissertation in the 1990s! Our first student question comes from Michael L.: “Is the multiverse theory true?” Chuck's answer involves eternal inflation, bubble universes, quantum mechanics, many worlds, and, somehow, Schrödinger's cat. From Facebook, Steven B. asks: “We all know that warp drive is still science fiction. But what is developing with other kinds of propulsion? Have we reached the limit of chemical propellants? What is happening with ion drives and nuclear systems?” Allen reviews the state of the art, including Ad Astra's VASIMIR engine, which we covered in our 2-part episode Star Trucking with Franklin Chang-Diaz and Miranda Chang. Our next student question is from Roberto J.: “How was gravity created?” Chuck says that while we just don't know for certain, gravity may have come into existence during the “Plank time” at the very start of our universe before cosmic inflation began. YouTuber @UnexpectedBooks asks, “How can gravity be “transmitted” via gravitons? It seems that a black hole would have no mass, because gravitons, like everything else, couldn't escape it.” Chuck explains that even though definitely black holes have mass, if gravitons exist, they must be able to leave the event horizon, and Allen points out that gravitational waves do just that. Our last student question is from Omar: “Does sound travel faster in space?” Chuck describes how sound waves travel, and why there's enough particulate matter in space to still allow it, possibly even faster than here on Earth. We end on a Patreon question from Eric S.: “The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is a casualty of the particular mathematics we have used to explore the quantum world. If we were to adjust those mathematics to a less consistent but more complete axiomatic viewpoint, could it be possible to 'see deeper'?” Chuck and Allen's answer involves high-order math, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, string theory and quantum mechanics.

Technology can help create meaningful learning experiences that honor student thinking and value student input, similar to Papert's vision for mathematics. In contrast, it technology can also be used to have students do math by just putting in numbers. This presentation will show how Desmos can support teachers in implementing meaningful learning experiences.

In this episode, PEBC Lab Hosts Jenn Brauner and Jennifer Engbretsen join Michelle Morris Jones on the Phenomenal Teaching Podcast to discuss the ways in which hybrid learning is playing out for them and their students. We dive into how the various strands of the PEBC Teaching Framework support student community and learning. Intentional planning and formative assessment strategies have been crucial to student success and ensuring that students have a reason to keep showing up socially and intellectually. Jenn shares the ways in which she plans mini units that are life-worthy and engaging for students, how she confers with students who are beside her and at home, and how she structures meaningful exit tickets. Jennifer shares the ways in which she collects data in real time via Desmos & Peardeck so that she can adjust her instruction to meet her students' needs, how she protects student privacy while teaching virtually and in-person simultaneously, and connecting with each and every student. They also share the struggles associated with striving to "see" their students each and every day, challenges with the physical space, and continually reestablishing norms. Jennifer Engbretsen loves math and makes it come alive for 9th and 10th graders in Denver, Colorado. When she's not working with students she is supporting colleagues as a numbers crushing Data Specialist who believes that student data should guide daily instruction. In addition to being a data guru she loves crafting and building furniture. Besides teaching high schoolers how to be great thinkers, the most interesting job she has ever had was working at a Glow in the Dark Putt Putt. Listen in for inspiration and information! Jenn Brauner rocks the middle grades and has found that adolescents are just as quirky in a virtual setting as they are in the classroom. She recommends “predictability on steroids” and has found that a consistent opening routine has paved the way for student engagement and learning. When it comes to planning, prioritizing reading, thinking, and talking allows her to align her standards and assessments with the just right medium for student understanding, engagement, and equity.
