    IN THE NEWS 2021 T.O.M STEM ACADEMY MONTHLY NEWS JANUARY EDITION FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY, WE ARE HIGHLIGHTING OUR STEMTASTIC PARTNERSHIP WITH FIRST CHESAPEAKE ROBOTICS!!! BELOW IS A CHANCE TO MEET THE INSTRUCTORS WHO WORK WITH OUR SCHOLARS WEEKLY! MEET MARIAROSA MARINELLI OR MS. MARIAROSA AS THE STUDENTS REFER TO HER! Ms. Mariarosa is one of our STEMtastic instructors for First Chesapeake Robotics, which she is thrilled to serve! Ms. Mariarosa, like our students, was raised in Richmond! She lived in Jackson Ward and Northside as a child and also attended college in Richmond. She received her Associate degree in Science from Reynolds Community College, and then earned her Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Mathematics from Virginia Commonwealth University. She’s spent the last few years working at the Science Museum of Virginia as an astronomer in the planetarium, so if you’re there, please stop by and say hello to Ms. Mariarosa! When it’s not too cold outside, Ms. Mariarosa enjoys biking and exploring the outdoors. She also loves reading, knitting, and listening to music. Growing up, Ms. Mariarosa was very immersed in Humanities, so ending up in the STEM field was a bit of a surprise. Nevertheless, she is a lifelong learner…therefore, she is passionate about learning more about the world around her and STEM helps to build a toolkit to better understand the complex and always-changing world. Ms. Mariarosa absolutely loves getting to interact and grow with our MLK A.T.O.M. STEM students over the last few months.

  • THD203 2000 Words Essay
    Design: Multimedia & Graphics 2nd year – 2010/2011 THD203 2000 Words Essay Yann ROIRAND 084285292 – bf42ra Question #25: Computer games became more available in the 1970s, and have been a growth industry ever since. Tancred Dyke-Well[s], Lead Artist at Kuju Entertainment has argued that ‘The really cool, radical looking games almost always emerge from Japan.’ (Morris & Hartas, 2003, p.101.) Would you agree with this assessment, and if so, why has Japan been so influential? Use examples to support your argument. Video Games constitute one of the pillars of the 21st century’s global popular culture. With a field of influence ranging from television to politics and sixty-five percent of American households playing video games (Fig.1), the video game industry has, over the past forty years (McCarthy, Curran & Byron 2005, p.6), risen from its original mere curiosity status to what we know it as: the current leading form of entertainment and “de facto dominant artform in the world” (Kelman 2005, p.14). And yet, interestingly, being a rather new media, it is still relatively poorly documented and generally overlooked by scholars (Kelman 2005, p.14). This essay shall attempt to do its part towards bridging the gap between academics and video games. Hopefully, it shall raise the awareness that they are now as important to our culture as mythology, literature and Fine Art have been up until now (Jenisch 2008, p.4); and thus as worthy a study topic as any other. Do most really cool, radical- looking games come from Japan and if so; why has Japan been so influential? To tackle this question, this essay shall first examine a selection of such games as well as their influences and legacies, keeping the focus on their graphical aspect.
