This is the blog of Learning Places. The Learning Places program results from a four-year grant awarded by the National Science Foundation to the St. Louis Science Center (SLSC) in partnership with the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM.)  Learning Places provides teenagers with a variety of opportunities to explore and evaluate the components necessary to create the physical spaces that will engage and excite younger children about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

Exhibit Lab Group 3 has done a wonderful job this summer! We have two fantastic exhibit prototypes to present to the Science Center. I am also very proud of our group because we were able to make some wonderful kites that were hugely popular with the visitors at the main building. Great job Exhibit Lab Group 3!!!

Times Beach

Learning Places
Today we read about the Times Beach flood of 1982. This was a huge tragedy because 4,000 people went homeless, and took a lot of people.s residents. The flood happened because the town begin to spray dioxin into there dirt lanes. That caused the river to change, and they later had four days of rain. The rain was ten inches per day. I feel that this is very sad and a better solution should have been done by the government.

Welcome to the world Gavon Amir Robertson

Learning Places
To my fellow YES Teens & Staff,  I would like to welcome my newborn son Gavon Amir Robertson. He was born March 10, 2011 at 2:43p.m at Barnes Jewish Hospital in room 5482. He weighed 6lbs 5 ounces, and he was 19 inches long. Its funny how I know all this like it was yesterday or so lol. The crazy thing is, I almost missed out on his birth because I overslept at home. Yeah, things like that would happen to a becoming father. Once I saw him, I almost cried because he reminded me of myself. I also wondered what if my mom was here to see him.  But yes, he's here now and I'm ready to give him all the love a man can give to his son. 

Jail: How to Avoid This Situation

Learning Places

Hello YES Teens and Staff. Well over the past week, I encountered a minor situation that placed me behind bars. No, it wasn't nothing serious, just had traffic ticket violation. While I was incarcerated, I began to go into a deep thought of how life could alter just off small things. I patiently waited and waited to be released, and finally got my request approved. The reason I'm blogging about this situation, because your actions can change your entire lifestyle at the snap of a finger. I never been locked up before, and it was the worst experience I could ever imagine. I want to educate the youth about how to avoid challenges down the road similar to mines. Once I was released, I knew that I didn't have nothing to worry about anymore. 

Law-enforcers are out here to do there job, and I can't blame no one but myself for that reason. If you have any problem such as traffic tickets, Missing court dates, and etc; make sure that get those problems taken care of ASAP. Drive safe and think positive every time you step out the house, because you never know what might happen in the next minute. And please, do not avoid the situation, because it only get worst. Jail isn't meant for everyone. The reason I say that, is because of the experience. Thank you for reading my blog, and I plan to keep blogging to my fellow YES Teens and Staff. Cheerio!!! Be safe.
