Seventh grade students Kelsea Anderson, Lily Bariteau, Ellie Copeland, Caitlin MacNeil, Emma Reardon and Bella Vallieres were among 110 students from 16 Massachusetts schools that attended Mass STEM Hub’s second annual design showcase IS OPEN YEAR ROUND PUBLIC SKATING: DAILY PUBLIC HOCKEY: WEEK DAYS FREESTYLE: MORNING & AFTERNOON SESSIONS LEARN TO SKATE CLASSES FOR ALL AGES!

Student groups were challenged to design, test and build an adaptive toy for a child with cerebral palsy for the showcase using their knowledge of the engineering design process, critical measurement and mathematical modeling, computer-aided design and cerebral palsy. Students learned about these concepts in a Design and Modeling Project Lead the Way (PLTW) unit earlier this school year.

Gov. Charlie Baker and Boston Children’s Hospital CEO Sandra Fenwick also attended the showcase and met with students in the competition. “This showcase was such a wonderful opportunity for our students to challenge themselves,” Superintendent Pires said. “They created incredibly thoughtful, useful projects, and it’s so exciting to see them using the knowledge they gained this school year to create something meaningful.” Anderson, Copeland, Reardon and Vallieres were awarded the Practitioners’ Pick award at the showcase, which is given to the project with the most realworld promise at the competition each year. The four students built a multi-functional fidget contraption for the competition, which they designed to support cognitive, sensory and physical therapy for children ages one through 12 with cerebral palsy. The toy features matching, spinning, listening and drawing games for patients to play independently or with an occupational therapist. These features of the toy were designed to engage the cerebral palsy patient’s imagination and senses while strengthening eyehand coordination. MacNeil and Bariteau partnered to build a “Toys for Kids Fruit Matcher” toy for the showcase as well, which tasks the patient with matching a soft, squishy “fruit” to a cup the same color as that fruit. MacNeil and Bariteau designed the toy to provide cognitive, physical and sensory therapy to children with cerebral palsy during occupational therapy, and to help patients stretch their finger and hand muscles. “Project Lead the Way has done a wonderful job of engaging our students and making them excited to learn about STEM topics,” said Medway Middle School Principal Craig Juelis. “This showcase gave students an opportunity to see first-hand how the topics they’re learning about in class can be applied to help others and make an impact in the world, and that’s truly incredible. Congratulations to each of these students on a job well done.” Project Lead The Way is an initiative of Mass STEM Hub, an organization providing access to and support for premier STEM programming. Project Lead The Way aims to make STEM part of students’ regular school day. The program offers K-12 curriculum in engineering, computer science, and biomedical science that engages students in problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration and communication.

The good news is that for certain people, there may be a solution. New York Life conducted research that shows that Baby Boomers might be able to retire up to two years sooner than planned by including a deferred income annuity in their retirement portfolios. Ralph Breaks the Internet Typically, deferred income annuities are positioned as products that can be included in retirement portfolios to guarantee lifetime income in the future and help mitigate the risk of outliving retirement savings. Considering that only 24% of Baby Boomers are confident that they will have enough savings to last for retirement, those are certainly important benefits.2 However, an additional benefit could be an earlier retirement start date. Analysis shows that in certain scenarios, purchasing a deferred income annuity in pre-retirement years allows individuals to retire up to two years earlier without incurring additional risk – as measured by the probability of running out of money during the retiree’s projected retirement.3 That means two more years to spend traveling, visiting with grandchildren, and enjoying life without work. If you’re ready to get a head start on your retirement, it may be time to take a look at your retirement portfolio to understand what changes you can make to get there sooner. Speak with your financial professional to help ensure that you’re headed towards a secure and satisfying retirement. 1.
