A Glimpse into the Creation of the Artifacts Kits

One of the most exciting aspects of the Artifacts Kits is the wealth of sources that were used to create them. The Boxlight team did not simply rely on generic museum artifacts. Instead, they embarked on an adventure that extended past the boundaries of classroom walls and leading museums, into the heart of different cultures.

3D Scanning Technology: Bridging Past and Present

Among the captivating elements of the Artifacts Kits is the 3D scanning of artifacts. One standout example of this feature is the Cycladic Bull, an artifact discovered in Greece. Using 3D scanning technology, a physical artifact was faithfully replicated for students to understand better its historical significance.

Breathing Life into History

What makes the Artifacts Kits so transformative is the immersive experience they offer. Rather than merely reading about different periods in history, students can now explore them interactively, providing a richer and more engaging learning experience.

Ball State's 36 new Corsair PCs are built for esports and creative software

Corsair supplied Ball State University's Esports Center with 36 PCs, each with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, 64 GB of memory and a 320 Hz display. The spec serves two kinds of users. Memory sized for Maya and Unreal Engine sits beside displays built for competitive play. Ball State says the upgrade gives students access to technology used in media production, animation and game development.

A $4 billion repair backlog will now shape Louisiana's college building budgets

A $4 billion repair backlog will now shape Louisiana's college building budgets

A Gordian assessment prepared for the Board of Regents puts the deferred maintenance backlog at Louisiana's public colleges at $4 billion. Buildings in the LSU and University of Louisiana systems average 64 years old, compared with 53 years for the community and technical colleges. Those findings now sit alongside a $1.25 billion capital request covering 73 projects.

  • 01Louisiana's state buildings are 70% concentrated on public postsecondary campuses, making higher education the primary owner of state-owned facility inventory.
  • 02The University of Louisiana System has the largest share of highest-risk buildings (over 50 years old) at 35%, while the community and technical college system leads in low-risk buildings at 22%.
  • 03The $1.25 billion capital outlay request covers 73 construction projects but measures construction and new work, not the $4 billion deferred maintenance backlog, representing different funding categories.
