Junior Solar Sprint Competition for Middle Grades
The U.S. Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP) has partnered with the North America Scholastic Esports Federation (NASEF) to present the Junior Solar Sprint (JSS) competition. This free online competition will use Minecraft: Education Edition with 5th-8th grade students to create the fastest, most interesting, and best crafted solar-vehicle possible. Students will learn the basics of solar energy, physics and movement in vehicles; engineering design principles; and STEM skills like collaboration and communication from working in teams. Additionally, students will build technology and computer skills. Register your team today.

What is Google Arts & Culture? Teaching Tips and Tricks
Google Arts & Culture is a free online portal to real-world art, culture, and historical collections. So rather than charter a bus, get permission slips, or board a balloon with Jackie Chan, you can visit and explore the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens in New York, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Acropolis in Greece, Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, and the Tokyo National Museum, all in one day without leaving the comfort of your classroom. Did we mention it’s FREE?
