Schools From Shipping Containers

Campus in a Box is a startup, non-profit venture incubating in Norfolk. This short, 3-D simulation shows the concept. By transforming old shipping containers into technology-rich, network connected schools, our region becomes a leader in exporting another form of education. Very Jeffersonian. If interested in what they’re doing, contact them via their website

Members from three different Chesapeake libraries compete for new Galaxy Tab 2s as a part of the Zombie Challenge. Here's a look at two teams in the Junior and Senior divisions, as they compete for the prize, strategize with one another, and nearly lose it all in the final round. Brace yourselves, Hampton Roads, here they come!

Amazing Grace

A Hampton Roads contributer to our site composed his own rendition of the classic hymn, "Amazing Grace." In four stanzas, all different, building on the other. and each representing a different phase of life. We hope you enjoy it.

We'll be creating an accomanying video with images and footage from our region and it will be out shortly. So come back to see what the full work entails.
