Today, CIRT partner in providing online talent/workforce identification and development, STEM-Premiere, has announced it has officially changed its name to Tallo.

CIRT members can find the former STEM-Premier information at: tallo.com and app.tallo.com. The new site and app have a different look and feel, but the same functionality. However, all STEM-Premier login info still works to access Tallo, allowing firms to still connect with hundreds of thousands of students. Becoming Tallo marks a new chapter in celebrating and empowering all talent to choose the opportunities that are right for them, in the STEM fields and beyond. [NOTE: If as a CIRT member you have a presence on STEM/Tallo’s website, they ask that you replace their old links with the following new ones]:

• STEM Premier web page: www.tallo.com
• STEM Premier application: app.tallo.com
  

CIRT launched its 13th Annual National Design & Construction Competition earlier this month as part of a collaborative effort with ACE Mentor Program of America and the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC). The 2019 Competition invites student teams from across the country to propose solutions for one of three challenges:

• a playground/playscape
• alleviate urban transportation congestion; or
•  a community health clinic.  

This year, the inspiration for the competitors is:

"Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."– Lou Holtz, Legendary Football Coach, Author

Teams are welcome to use the Chicago Architecture Center's online learning platform to collaborate. Students can upload their work, give feedback to each other and share photos, links and other resources as they work through the design process.
