Pitbull Motivation
Pitbull is a known American rapper. He is known for his albums and his hit single “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” which took the number two spot in the US Billboard Hot 100. He is also known for his musical style and artistic prowess.

Which is why Pitbull has recently spoken at Palm Beach State College to voice out about STEAM. STEAM is different from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). STEAM has added Arts to its name.

During his talk at the Kravis Center, Pitbull joins the annual fund raiser to voice out his concern about STEAM and its future goals, as reported by West Palm Beach TV. The funds raised during the luncheon is going to fund student scholarships, business partnerships and internships for students who are focusing on careers in STEAM.

STEAM has been reportedly adopted by many already and is lead by the Rhode Island School of Design.

STEAM aims to place Art and Design at the center of STEM and encourage everyone to integrate art in K-20 education and influence companies and employers to hire artists and designers as they are considered to be innovators in the world, too.

One high school student from Dreyfoos School of the Arts says that the fund raising is a great thing to pursue when it comes to STEAM because it needs more awareness.

The foundation itself has already given out thousands of scholarships. Every year, about 2,200 students receive these scholarships. This year’s speaker was Pitbull but previous year’s speakers include actor John Lithgow and Danica

    However, after digging a bit deeper into the website, I learned that portions of all the money spent on the merchandise goes to the production of the products (of course), other charities supporting the same cause, funding for events spreading the word about the organization, and treatment for the patients that need help. I also learned that this is their way of raising money, due to the fact that when To Write Love On Her Arms was first founded in 2006, profits from t-shirts are how they funded the first treatment of the first patient. I think that by adding this information somewhere more prominent rather than hidden away in the 'Frequently Asked Questions' section of their website could really help in the merchandise sales; thus, providing more treatments for more patients, donations to charities just like them, and being able to get out and spread the word to people around the globe that maybe don't know of all the good To Write Love On Her Arms has done. When promoting the merchandise on social media, maybe they could throw in where all the money is going, instead of just announcing that a shirt now comes in black and…

    Pit bulls and terrier breeds were created in early 19th century, for the popular spectator sports of bull- and bear-baiting. In 1898 the UKC, Britain's equivalent of the AKC, named these bull dogs the American Pit Bull Terrier. The AKC decided to recognize the breed in the early 1930s--but under a new name. Intending to separate it from its pit-fighting past, the AKC named it the American Staffordshire terrier, also known as a pit bull. These dogs have been used for protection not only in homes but in war, with the police and even with celebrities. Unfortunately, this same breed of dog now has a bad reputation, being called a vicious breed of dog and bully’s. I would have to disagree though, I believe that yes, there are some very mean pit bulls out there but there are also very nice and even famous ones. Not all pit bulls can be bad they aren’t born that way, they are raised that way. Saying a pit bull is born aggressive is kind of like saying a baby is born to hate.…

    Katie Salen, a games designer and a professor of design and tecnology at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, hopes to change the entire way society believes education should be taught by completely abandoning this traditional philosophy. This is why she is one of the primary promoters for a new program, Quest to Learn, which is a freshly built taxpayer-funded school in New York. The Anonymous author indicated that “Instead of chalk and talk, children learn by doing--and do so in a way that tears up the usual subject-based curriculum altogether.” Quest to Learn’s school day will consist of four 90-minute intervals devoted to “domains” which the Anonymous author says “include(s) Codeworlds (a combination of mathematics and English), Being, Space and Place (English and social studies), The Way Things Work (math and science) and Sports for the Mind (game design and digital literacy). Each domain concludes with a two-week examination called a "Boss Level"” (Anonymous, 2009)…
