The Robeson Group is a small company forged from a partnership between the best academic and civic minds with a primary focus being "Public Scholarship and Closing the Achievement Gap." And with that, our tools of choice in looking at these issues have been, Globalism (leveraging its potential) Science, Technology and the Arts. Tools that have been used by New York Times Bestselling Authors: Tom Friedman, Dan Pink and Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, to name a few. Not all rubrics & methodologies transfer elegantly from Macro to Micro, but this became our task with the recent birth of our son. And our secret question became, how do you translate the expansive and the critical to the delicate?
By now, you may have seen the videos showing our discussions in areas such as Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Cosmology, Music, Art and Mathematics. These videos reflect our attempt at translating sophisticated concepts in simple ways. We've crafted a method of instruction, that at the age of 2.5 years old, (as unlikely as it seems) our son now has a grasp of the world around him in unique and profound ways. Some have pronounced him a genius and even Einstein-like. We say he's a well loved child with unique gifts that have been cultivated. But, we also believe that we're all born with "it."
Among friends and family, one of the most frequent requests is for VIDEOS. Videos that either show our method or simply show Romanieo Jr. in action. Seeing is believing. And moreover, seeing is inspiring. We have developed two programs that harness technology in every aspect of our approach. Novus, for young and older adults and BabytechiOS, for pre-k (as birth to age 5 have been identified as the most critical years by neuroscience researchers). We are at the beginning of fulfilling those requests for formalized videos. But, doing it right requires high costs (in time and financial resources). If you would like to help us as we continue this work, please consider making a donation.
Here's to developing (in the famous words of Dan Pink) A Whole New Mind...
Thank you for visiting and we welcome your feedback and ideas on how we can reinvent education for generations to come.
