It is Giving Tuesday, and we are pleased to take part in the social movement by making a donation to Simpson University. The Fortera Foundation is donating enough ReAct low-carbon cement for 250 yards of concrete for the Maurice and Marianne Johannessen Veteran Success Center (VSC). ReAct will be used in the new building’s slab and footings, reducing the center’s carbon footprint. The VSC will provide crucial resources to veterans as they transition from military service to student and civilian life. The VSC will also be home to STEM program facilities, including new engineering and technology labs. Fortera CEO Ryan Gilliam said, “Simpon University is a tremendous asset for Northern California and Southern Oregon, bringing important resources to historically underserved communities. As Redding is also home to Fortera’s first green cement manufacturing facility, we are honored to play a part in supporting education, veteran success, and sustainable infrastructure in our own community.” As part of a Giving Tuesday campaign, Simpon University is kicking off the final phase of fundraising to bring in the remaining $1.5M needed to complete the VSC. To make a contribution to the effort, visit simpsonu.edu/givingtuesday.

On today's episode of the Professor Kev Show I am joined by Aarnav Bansal Founder of SafelyCFL. A student-led 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, based in New Jersey, and backed by a board of trustees with a collective experience of more than 45 years in technology, risk, analytics, and business management, which strives to empower our community to mitigate the risks posed by Mercury-filled bulbs. We aim to raise awareness in regards to the dangers of incorrect disposal of mercury-filled light bulbs, especially Compact Fluorescent Bulbs, and also to act as a means for people to properly dispose of their waste bulbs by conducting drives. Envisioning a world with a transition towards safe lighting solutions void of elemental Mercury, we strive to have a lasting positive impact across the nation and eventually across the globe, starting with educating all in our community about its grave dangers. We aim to allow student leaders to make an impact through volunteering opportunities and well-deserved recognition for our future top volunteers. Join us today if you want to play your role in preserving our community and take part in the start of something great!

I'm curious if there are any mechanical engineers out there who would like to brainstorm on an interventional solution for coral reef bleaching. I have an idea but need help with creating a cost-effective, seaworthy design. The problem of coral bleaching is enormous and is getting worse every year — if the thought of helping the reefs excites you, please reach out to me. Money-wise, this would likely turn into a nonprofit route funded by grants and donations. #climatechange #coralreefs #unworldoceansday

PGDA can run efficiently to preserve items worldwide by following a digital-first and democratized, crowd-sourced model. To keeping the site running, the average cost is $6k per semester. The costs break down to: 1) Engineer support to help remedy glitches and keep the Archive up and running from a technical perspective. 2) Server space to archive items like the BJ-80 Bubble Jet Printer uploaded by UF students. 3) Special projects are a tiny part of the budget, including anything from social media or event stickers. --- Consider donating to guarantee that PGDA's contents will be preserved in 2025. Donate via The PGDA's fiscal sponsor, The Letterform Archive, here: https://buff.ly/3zRCNej Every dollar helps change history. 📚 💚 💜

Another step on the mission to close the UK STEM skills gap! We are proud to be supported by Alpha Construction Ltd for the 2025 race season. The laptops donated by Tony will enable each race team to be responsible for collecting and analysing their own race data. They will also be able to design and 3D print prototype parts directly in the workshop, demonstrating the use of additive manufacturing and engineering design skills. #stem #stemskillsgap #derbyshire #charity
Planning for the 2025 race season has begun in earnest. We are excited to be working with some great local STEM companies this year. Firstly Alpha Construction Ltd based in Hilton. The team have very kindly donated some laptops and provided hoodies for the team. Thank you Tony Bamford! #stem #alphaconstruction #engineering #charity

What if I told you that the future of our environment might just be buzzing in our schools? 🐝 As the CEO of The Best Bees Company, I've had the privilege of witnessing the incredible intersection of education and beekeeping firsthand. And let me tell you, it's a sight to behold! Our school programming, a collaboration between The Best Bees Company and our nonprofit Urban Bee Lab, is a unique blend of real-world science and community building. We're not just teaching students about bee biology; we're inspiring them to see the world through a new lens, one where biodiversity, sustainability, and ecosystems are integral parts of their everyday lives. But here's the thing: I learn more from these students than they do from me. Their fresh perspectives on the environment, their curiosity, and their eagerness to make a difference are a constant source of inspiration. This is not just about bees; it's about shaping future generations who understand the importance of pollinators in our global food system. It's about transforming our urban areas from gray to green. It's about creating a sustainable future for us all. So, let's keep the conversation buzzing! What are some ways you're promoting sustainability in your communities? Share your thoughts in the comments below. #BeeTheChange #Sustainability #UrbanGreening
It’s never too early to think about the future of our environment! 🐝 Thank you so much to Bridge Boston Charter School for hosting Noah Wilson-Rich and Urban Bee Lab for a discussion with second-grade students about the importance of pollinators like the bees in their donated hive! Urban Bee Lab, our 501(c)(3) non-profit is on a mission to understand pollinator decline and take actionable steps to revitalize bee populations—but we need your help!
