🤖 So, apparently, a magical $20 robot is all it takes to turn kids into tech geniuses, and it’s somehow culturally competent too! 🎩✨ With 34k kids allegedly building robots on some platform, it’s like MIT Solve gave an award to Harry Potter for teaching tech with a wand. 🪄📚

EKGAR | The STEAM Connection

An innovative educational robotics kit that costs less than $20 dollars to make and is sent to youth for free, increasing their technical competency and understanding with a culturally competent curriculum. It was designed by youth activist Danielle Boyer.

The STEAM Connection

Deepening our Roots: Nurturing the Soul and Growing in Connection meets April 24 to 26, 2025 at the Maritime Conference Center in Linthicum, Maryland. This retreat invites therapists, chaplains, clergy, spiritual directors, educators, and other practitioners who feel drawn toward reflective and integrative work. The gathering affirms a wide range of #spiritual expression, including those rooted in a single tradition, those who weave multiple pathways, and those still exploring language that feels authentic. It is a setting where clarity, curiosity, questions, and quiet openness are all welcome.

The retreat is designed around reflective dialogue, experiential practices, embodied exploration, and meaningful community connection. We will explore deepening inner awareness, strengthening relational roots, honoring cultural and #spiritual diversity, practicing embodied presence, fostering professional sustainability, engaging in shared learning and reflection, and growing together in a sense of belonging.

Our schedule runs Friday from 4 pm to Sunday at 12 pm. All meals from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch are included, along with materials and continuing education certificates. A discounted lodging block is available on site. While up to 10 units of continuing education are available, participants don't have to come to every session and it's ok to take space and rest. Maritime Conference Center provides free parking, a complimentary shuttle, complimentary WiFi, a fitness center, walking and jogging trails, and a 100 percent smoke free campus where pets are welcome.

This program offers up to 10.0 hours of continuing education with approvals through NBCC, ASWB, and the New York State Education Department's State Board for Mental Health Practitioners. Questions or accommodation needs may be sent to Latasha Matthews at [email protected].

This post is about the daily effort to be actively affirming of people who live and work between cultures, across borders, and often within systems that were not built for them.

Affirming Immigrant and International Clients in Therapy
