The first Endeavour Educator meeting has been scheduled! Eek! Let's get this party started!

Teachers from the United Arab Emirates, the Ukraine, Chile, Poland, Australia, the United Kingdom, and USA will all be talking together on a video call. Do you know how hard it is to schedule across all those time zones? Guess what time I will have to be on that wonderful video call - 6 AM - good thing I am a morning person.

Missouri - 6 AM
Alabama (Space Camp) - 7 AM
New York (Endeavour Scholarship Headquarters) - 7 AM
Chile - 7 AM
Poland - 1 PM
United Kingdom - 1 PM
Ukraine - 2 PM
United Arab Emirates - 3 PM

Our Flooded class made it through 1/2 of the Flooded text book and we learned a lot and were reintroduced to things we knew but hadn't thought about in a while. God willing, next spring we will be able to have Flooded, part 2 and finish the book.

As a final project students took the topic that interested them most and created a video. Everyone did so good - please take a look at their hard work by clicking here. Scroll to the bottom of the page for the videos.

Crackerfrog Quadratic Quarters
Key Aspects of Crackerfrog Quadratic Quarters:

This city is known for its roundabouts: The city currently has six roundabouts, but plans on adding more in 2030, and then more in 2067.
One of the best aspects of this city is its great pool. It is well known for its 100-foot diving board. The pool itself is 40 feet deep, which is also heated. Around the pool, there are 4 hot tubs that are 10 feet around each. These can hold 15 people and are fun for hanging out and socializing.
Another great fact about this town is its interstate. This is a short but sweet place to drive. It may only be 2 miles, but that is a good thing. This interstate leads to what is called the big loop that spans 5 miles wide. The coolest thing about this interstate is that the speed limit is 100 miles per hour, so that means you can get to your place in record time.
This town's name has a significant history, as it was founded in 1953. The founders named it CrackerFrog Quadratic Quarters, as they had met when they both were serving their country and living in the same Quarters. They became friends by talking about a frog that was eating a cracker. This helped them come up with nicknames for each other, Cracker and Frog, and led to the future name of the town they founded.
The best thing about this city is its power source. It runs off by itself. Now you might be asking what does that mean. Well underground, there is a giant nuclear power plant. This produces so much power that it can power the city forever. That's right FOREVER. This city will never run out. So when you are hanging out in your backyard, and your hot tub is too cold, you can count on us for good power, and maybe cancer! We haven't tested that yet.

Polygon City

Polygon City was originally called “Pi City”, after the famous Tri-docs that the original owner built on the perfectly circular lake, and the anomalous properties surrounding it and the Remainder River, which endlessly flowed from the lake with no clear source to where the water flowed into the lake.
Polygon City is currently located on the west point of the Bermuda Triangle (which is in Florida). It also has around a population of 9,870 as of the 2020 census. While Pi City had an estimated population of 29,000 at its peak. The farms looked like they were made in the late 1820’s, although the housing district had mid 1900’s architecture. Although soon after its destruction reconstruction was started.
Remainder River (the main attraction) can only now be seen if it's raining, because Pi Lake overflows and runs off in a torrent down the river. Also some of the citizens of Polygon City use the lake for their water (as it is freshwater). It also has been recorded to not have a lowered water level during drought conditions, or if lots of water is used.
The key attractions are Remainder River (as listed above), Rhombus Wildlife Reserve, Scalene Sports, and Symmetry Square. Along with Right Tri Supermarket for those trying to be fancy or find the perfect gift for friends and family.
The feel of the atmosphere is usually serene and peaceful, while feeling high-tech in the more populated/city-like areas.

Everything You Should Know About Isosceles City:

Isosceles City was founded in 1897 by Robert Isosceles, a miner from Utah looking to find gold in the mountains of what is now known as Isosceles City. Robert did indeed find gold in the mountains, but it was a very small amount that would do little to affect the growth and popularity of the city.
Isosceles City is powered primarily by nuclear energy, as it is home to one of the biggest nuclear power plants in the world, the pi power plant. Isosceles City hasn't always had the best luck with nuclear power plants though. In 1975, the radius power plant had a meltdown and an explosion which had made Isosceles City temporarily uninhabitable. There's still a sizable plot of land that is uninhabitable and left as a scar from the explosion.
Isosceles City is known for having a very diverse amount of nature. It is home to many hills, mountains, prairies, forests, and even a canal which goes through the entire city and supplies the city's residents with water.
Isosceles City is also known for its darker past, not including the nuclear reactor incident. Near the scalene nuclear power plant and the explosion site of the symmetrical square power plant, there is a prison known as perpendicular prison. It was made during WW2 to house prisoners of war and to interrogate those prisoners so the allies could know more about their threats. The lead manager of this location at that time was John Math, and he was believed to torture some of the prisoners and hurt them more than necessary, even if they gave the answers requested. It’s believed that more than 80 people were murdered in this prison, and altogether, more than 400 people have died in this prison. It's still in operation.
It’s also known for its office buildings, stretching over a mile and supplying hundreds of peoples jobs.
