EDUCATION NEWS Library Hosts Author and Counterinsurgency Expert John Nagl on March 12 etired United States Army Lieutenant Colonel and counterinsurgency expert John Nagl comes to Tredyffrin Public Library, 582 Upper Gulph Road, Strafford, on Thursday, March 12, at 7 p.m., to talk about his new memoir, “Knife Fights: A Memoir of Modern War in Theory and Practice.” He will discuss his career and the revolution in warfare he helped lead, in combat and in Washington. When John Nagl was an army tank commander in the first Gulf War of 1991, fresh out of West Point and Oxford, he was an early convert to the view that America’s greatest future threats would come from asymmetric warfare—guerrillas, terrorists, and insurgents. He got the military to send him back to Oxford to study the history of counterinsurgency.

Thanks for Reading City Suburban News Every Week!
PLACE YOUR WINTER SPECIALS HERE! The result would become the bible of the counterinsurgency movement, a book called “Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife.” The events of 9/11 and the Iraq invasion brought counterinsurgency to the forefront and after hard fighting in Iraq, Nagl was sent to the Pentagon to work with General David Petraeus to coauthor the new army and marine counterinsurgency field manual, rewriting core army doctrine. That doctrine changed the course of two wars and the thinking of an army. Nagl is former president of the Center for a New American Security, current headmaster of The Haverford School and one of the most important army officers of his generation.

“Building Philly” STEM Challenge Gives Students a Chance to Demonstrate STEM Skills ’NEX Education®, America’s STEM Building Solution, announces “Building Philly” STEM Challenge With K’NEX®. Teams of Philadelphia seventh and eighth grade students from throughout the city are invited to develop and demonstrate their STEM skills as they compete to create an environmentally friendly people moving vehicle out of K’NEX parts. “This STEM Challenge teaches valuable science, technology, engineering and math concepts, and encourages teamwork, public speaking and presentation abilities that are vital to life-long success,” said Michael Araten, President and CEO of K’NEX Brands. “In a day and age in which STEM jobs are increasing faster than non-STEM jobs, the need for educated and excited workers is ever-growing.” “Engaging students through experiential learning is a demonstrated strategy to spark their interest in STEM and ensure that they understand the real-life implications of STEM subjects,” says Stephen S. Tang, Ph.D., MBA, President and CEO of project partner the University City Science Center. “This is of crucial importance to the region as we consider how we are going to develop the next generation of innovators.” Teams will present their models to a panel of judges on May 15, 2015 at Drexel University. The judging session will be followed by the challenge finals at Drexel. Awards include K’NEX shopping sprees, K’NEX building sets for student teams and a tour of K’NEX headquarters HQ in Hatfield, PA. Registration for the “Building Philly” STEM Challenge With K’NEX is open to all schools located in Philadelphia. Teachers are encouraged to attend one of two workshops at the University City Science Center on February 24, 2015 at 10 a.m. or 4 p.m. The “Building Philly” STEM Challenge with K’NEX is sponsored by the University City Science Center and the Philadelphia Math + Science Coalition.
