During Think Tank's 2011 Spring semester the Creative Writing class thoroughly work-shopped, wrote, and edited submissions for our third class journal! The journal includes five short stories based upon an original science fiction theme followed by a separate section of student poems. I am grateful to all the students who took part in the process of bringing the Spring journal to completion. You are all amazing authors!

We will be publishing a new journal in this Fall's Creative Writing class, marking the first bi-annual publication. Sincere thanks to all who have been involved!

Summer Think Tank Projects and Inspirations - Go Kart!

The very thoughtful and inspired Mr. Ben Secino (a Think Tank student) came to me for mechanical advise about a go kart model he had built out of legos at the end of one of our Eco-debate classes a few months ago. He was determined,after our many discussions in class about finding new alternatives to fossil fuel-based energy, to tackle the concept of a green vehicle for his summer project. His engineering brain was clearly whirring.

After a couple good conversations, many questions and a few trips to Wikipedia, we decided to take on the challenge of building a "green" go kart.
