Titan Hosts Smithsonian Delegation
A delegation of executives from the Smithsonian visits the IKS Titan
The IKS Titan had the honor of hosting a group of executives from the Smithsonian. They were very impressed by what they saw and asked many very good questions. The guest list included:
- Claudine K. Brown, Assistant Secretary for Education and Access, The Smithsonian Institution
- Jane Lipton Cafritz, Chairman and CEO, Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation
- Trisha Edward, Education Specialist, Lemelson Center
- Ryan Hill, Director of Digital Learning Programs, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
- Dr. Kim Kiehl, Executive Director, Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center
- Caroline Payson, Director of Education, Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum
But this guest list wasn't the only impressive thing—there was a rockstar group of GATE students from Shaler Area Elementary on hand to present the Titan. They discussed their experiences in it, and how it's impacted their educational experience. They did a fantastic job and really made the Smithsonian's visit a powerful one.

The Magellan is proud to announce two of the new missions they will be flying this summer. "Paradise Lost" is the working title for their new 5 hour mission to be run on our camps this summer. Based just a few months after the Dominion War, the Magellan is working on picking up the pieces in all the aftermath. For this year's NEW Super EdVenture Camp, Magellan will be putting a new twist on the old Voyager's mission "Silhouette". In this revamped 12 hour mission, the Magellan will join a Federation task force that is helping a friend made during the war to bring stability to their country by taking down the terrorist leader Stanton Everett.
Today we are sharing a screenshot of the new Magellan controls that are being programmed in Cocoa. Development of the controls should be finished by spring break this year.
