🔬🧠Think Big Space Spotlight! 🔬

The Think Big Space is where curiosity turns into discovery!

From exploring the microscopic world to tackling hands-on STEM challenges, the Think Big Space provides opportunities for learners of all ages to investigate, create, and problem-solve through engaging educational experiences.

Whether you're examining specimens under a microscope, experimenting with technology, or working collaboratively to solve challenges, every visit offers a chance to think differently, ask questions, and discover something new.

At the SAGE Center, we believe learning should be interactive, inspiring, and fun. The Think Big Space was designed to inspire creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning through hands-on exploration.

Congratulations to Stephanie Leon, Workforce Training Coordinator, and Angel Aguilar, SAGE Manager, on graduating from the Proud River Leadership Academy!

Over the past ten months, they strengthened their leadership skills, built meaningful regional connections, and gained valuable insight into the communities, organizations, and industries that help our region thrive. We asked them to share a few reflections on their experience:

“Even though I grew up in Boardman and have spent my life in this region, Proud River Leadership Academy opened my eyes to so much that I didn’t know. The experience deepened my appreciation for our communities, expanded my understanding of the region’s opportunities and challenges, and strengthened my leadership skills in ways that will benefit me for years to come. Just as meaningful were the relationships and lifelong friendships I built throughout the program. I’m incredibly grateful to have been part of it.” – Stephanie Leon

“I truly appreciated the opportunity to further develop my leadership skills while touring local industries. These experiences provided valuable insight into the industries that surround us and helped me better understand the significant impact they have on our communities and economy.” – Angel Aguilar

We are proud of their commitment to professional growth and grateful for the knowledge, experience, and leadership they bring to our team. Please join us in congratulating Stephanie and Angel on this achievement!

🥔 Fun Fact Friday 🥔

Did you know? A single acre of potato farmland can produce up to 30,000 pounds of potatoes in a growing season!

Potatoes are one of the world's most efficient food crops, providing a significant amount of nutrition while using relatively little land. Here in our region, potato production plays an important role in supporting agriculture, food processing, and local economies.

The next time you enjoy french fries, tater tots, or mashed potatoes, remember the incredible journey from field to plate!
