Greetings!
DES Headshot wCoat

I hope this note finds you doing well as we settle in to the full swing of summer.
School may be out for students in the conventional sense, but good students of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship never stop learning and growing.  

With that in mind, you'll want to join us for CKIC Night at the Movies.  This summer we're showing selections from the hit TV series The Men Who Built America.  See more information on this great way to learn from history, below.   

Newton's attic is another that certainly isn't sitting still this summer.  See 2 new Summer Camps they are now announcing, also below. 


Do you invent like MacGyver?  Find out what we're talking about in this month's inventor blog: http://www.ckic.org/inventorblog.html.

Hope you have a great Independence Day, and we hope to see you at our next Free Open Meeting at the CKIC this Tuesday July 2nd! 


Best Regards,

Don Skaggs

across the river

John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and J.P. Morgan rose from obscurity and in the process built modern America. Their names hang on street signs, are etched into buildings and are a part of the fabric of history.  

                    

Carnegie

 

These men created the American Dream and were the engine of capitalism as they transformed everything they touched in building the oil, rail, steel, shipping, automobile and finance industries.

RockefellerTheir paths crossed repeatedly as they elected presidents, set economic policies and influenced major events of the 50 most formative years this country has ever known. From the Civil War to the Great Depression and World War I, they led the way.

Scratch is an easy to learn and easy to use 2-D computer programming module designed by the MIT Media Lab. Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. With Scratch, students learn the design and development process that goes into some of their favorite computer programs, and students will be designing and programming their own ideas into interactive stories, games and animations.
