November 2024 Newsletter

Our Mid-Valley neighbors and partners,

As we welcome in November and the return of crisp weather the Hub is holdong space to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions to STEM and society by the Indigenous peoples of North America during Native American Heritage Month.

On an academic note, we invite our middle school math educators to join us in a new math tutoring initiative called Khanmigo. Khanmigo utilizes AI to provide meaningful tailored math instruction to students based on their individual needs with the goal of helping students excel in data reasoning and grade-level content. We’re working for student success, so don’t miss your opportunity to join this year’s programming! Sign up for the Khanmigo pilot program.
