132. Omatseyin (13) and Brianna (13) have calculated the acceleration of a toy car down an inclined plane of 39 degrees to be 20 feet per second, every second. Do you believe them? Furthermore, they constructed the toy car and proved it to be true! Jordon (16) had trouble believing that an elephant and a feather will hit the ground at the same time if they are dropped from some height in a vacuum. Are you of the same mindset as Jordon? Or do you believe Omatseyin and Brianna when they tell you that this is indeed true, or they tell you that an SUV and a toy car will accelerate at the same rate of speed, ignoring the force of friction, if they could be set to roll down an incline plane of 39 degrees and in a vacuum, regardless of their weight?
A Message from Venelyn Yanakieff, Volunteer Tutor, Supervisor and Electrical Engineer (Retired) for the Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power.........One of our Tutors and financial supporters. "Please support this Organization....I do! We all work for free."
A message from Cleophas Mike McAlpin, Director....."It is truly amazing what God can do. He pulled me from a Retirement Life and placed me into this position. He said to "step out on faith" and I did just that. There is such untold joy in knowing that I am doing something to assist our underprivileged students with their education. My services, as well as the services of all of our Volunteer Tutors, are given for free. It is indeed...becoming a level playing field for all of our children. Thanks to all of you who are helping us with the education of our youth. Please continue your support as we prepare our youth for the future."
