Square One Education Network has been getting teachers and K-12 student excited about mobility technologies for 25 years, says Executive Director Barb Land.
The Michigan-based nonprofit reaches some 12,000 students and 500 teachers in the state each year, helping them with everything from classroom tech projects to hands-on construction of electric vehicles and underwater robots.
Land notes that Square One’s new Masters of Mobility program enables students to look at how future vehicles will communicate with each other and the infrastructure.

Shifting Landscape of Technology Is a Never-Ending Education
Brent Donaldson, Senior Editor, Modern Machine Shop and Additive Manufacturing Magazine discusses how the shifting landscape of technology that all of Gardner’s writers and editors cover is a never-ending education. If we are truly doing our jobs, we will never feel like we’ve mastered them. As I continue writing and reporting for AM and MMS, it’s easy to imagine how these technologies’ interdependency will continue to grow. It also seems clear that this kind of reporting — the kind that requires editors to experience and share new manufacturing technologies and strategies — is the kind of reporting that only Gardner can produce with any depth. I’m grateful to be part of it.
