Follow the story as it is and goes. Tech Wolves Rover. The Tech Wolves started as a group of Memphis Academy of Science and Engineering students taking machine shop classes at neighboring Moore Tech and working on The NASA Rover Challenge.

Fort Pillow, a history of tellings.

April 7, 2021June 21, 2021 DWallace

History is the past that led us to here. The telling of what happened depends on who one listens to and why. If one is most true to a study of history, they seek out to learn as much of the truth as they can, not just the events and dates but the stories of the people involved. Fort Pillow State Park is located on the western edge of Tennessee, about 45 miles north of Memphis. Fort Pillow was important militarily because it commanded the Mississippi River. The river has…

The three basic logic gates in this game are And, Or, and Not. For And to be true, both things must be. For Or to be True, only one must. Not asks for the other. Thanks to msarica for the original project Logic Gates Game. Binary is the way computers count because switches are…

Circling the Equator

For those working on circles and circumferences, radius, and pi type things, this little problem is quite an excellent study to the primary things one needs to know, so they say. Needless to say, there is more to that path of maths at algebrawesome.

Tommie and his brother came to move some mulch for the path we have made at Chickasaw Heritage Park. He had his guitar and so we made some music along the way. This is a start of what we hope to be more.
