One Graduation, Two Diplomas

Math. Science. History. English. Repeat. When you’re a student, at some point the goal is to figure out what exactly you’re good at. But what if you know your passion early on? P-TECH, an education model co-founded and inspired by IBM, gives ninth graders the opportunity to earn an Associates Degree in a technology discipline by the time they complete high school. Cletus, Kiambu, Michelle, Gabriel, Radcliffe and Rahat are the first graduates. And with so much buzz about how to improve education in America, these six bright minds just might pave the way for more science, tech, engineering and math (STEM) programs to come.

💻 IBM Japan in 15 Seconds 📚
Here’s your crash course on IBM Japan. In 1925, a tableware manufacturer installed the first IBM tabulating machine. In 1973, Leo Esaki won the Nobel Prize in Physics for electron tunneling. In 1982, the Tokyo Research Lab opened. In 1992, the ThinkPad700C was released. And now, in 2015, IBM’s teaming up with Apple in Japan to create an elderly-friendly iPad. We’re out of time, but rest assured, the goods are still being churned out. Class dismissed.

Steins;Gate Series
Anime to the Rescue 🙀😹🙉

What’s in store for 21st century technology? Can you even begin to imagine it? To shed some light, IBM Japan joined forces with Steins;Gate—a four-part Japanese anime series that follows a crew of quirky time-traveling teenagers who utilize sci-fi cognitive computing devices to get out of everyday troubles. Warning, these guys are out there…in an endearing way of course. One character even carries around apricot puree in case he “finds a girlfriend and she wants to cook something.” Don’t ask, just watch →
